[FIXED] Why is no string output with 'echo %var%' after using 'set var = text' command in cmd?

Issue

I set a variable in cmd with the set command, and tried to echo it.

Here is an example:

C:\Users\Logan>set var = text

C:\Users\Logan>set var
var = text

C:\Users\Logan>echo %var%
%var%

C:\Users\Logan>

Is there a way to force the cmd to echo the variable and not the raw text?

Solution

You need to remove whitespace before and after =:

set "var=text"
echo %var%
text
