I went searching for a line continuation character in DOS. I needed to make my CMD scripts more readable (if such scripts can ever be made readable - I'll use Ant next time). Searching around I found that the caret ("^") was supposed to be the continuation character. I tried it and it didn't work at first, until I realized that I was using it in the middle of a quoted string.
Re-jiggered the long command to put the caret(s) outside of quoted strings and it works like a champ. Not that I want to claim to be an expert in CMD scripts...
