If you have maybe a code like this

set "CONTENT_LENGTH=24" & echo first=1&second=2&third=3

I want the echo to echo with the &

  • Just found it. ```set "CONTENT_LENGTH=24" & echo first=1^^^&second=2^^^&third=3```. My own wasn't working with the single and double quotes escapes maybe because I was using a PIPE. I used the triple ^ (hats) to do this – surge10 Apr 29 '18 at 23:02

Two ways you could do this.

Escape characters

In Windows batch files it seems to be the ^ character, so you'd just stick a ^ before your special character.

This page seems to cover the exceptions: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/escapechars.php

On OS X/Linux, use backslashes: echo three\&four

Wrap the parameter phrase in quotes. 

echo "three&four"

This should work on either system.
