title: Why is no string output with 'echo %var%' after using 'set var = text' command in cmd?
body: <p>I set a variable in cmd with the <code>set</code> command, and tried to <code>echo</code> it.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-bat prettyprint-override"><code>C:\Users\Logan&gt;set var = text
  
  C:\Users\Logan&gt;set var
  var = text
  
  C:\Users\Logan&gt;echo %var%
  %var%
  
  C:\Users\Logan&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force the cmd to <code>echo</code> the variable and not the raw text?</p>
