batch-file Comments in Batch Files Comment on the code's line
Example
To comment on the same line as the code you can use &:: or &rem. You can also use && or || to replace &.
Example :
@echo off
echo This is a test &::This is a comment
echo This is another test &rem This is another comment
pause
A curiosity: SET command allows limited inline comments without &rem:
set "varname=varvalue" limited inline comment here
Limitations:
- syntax with double quotes
set "varname=varvalue"orset "varname=", - an inline comment may not contain any double quote,
- any
cmdpoisonous characters| < > &must be properly escaped as^| ^< ^> ^&, - parentheses
( )must be properly escaped as^( ^)within a bracketed code block.
