It’s obvious that you need three carets there 🙂
(
@echo This is some code that is
@echo Important to echo exactly as-is
@echo Even if I use parenthesis
@echo for something (like this^^^)
)|clip
Why? That is a bit tricky…
First the parser parses the block and escapes the part this^^^) to this^), the parenthesis was escaped here the first time.
But as you used a pipe, the complete block will be translated and transfered to a new cmd.exe instance.
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /S /D /c" ( @ echo This is some code is ... & @ echo for something (like this^) )"
And in the new instance it is necessary again to escape the closing parenthesis.
That’s all!
