@

Internal

Purpose

The AT sign @ is used to prevent a single command in a batch file
from being echoed to the screen as the batch file is being run. The @
sign is placed in front of the command whose display is to be
suppressed.

Format

@ [batch file command]

Remarks

batch file command can be any executable line in your batch file.

Examples

@COPY FILE1.BAT FILE1.SAV

Executes the COPY instruction, which are not echoed to the screen as
the batch file runs.

@ECHO OFF

The ECHO OFF command differs from the @ sign in that it causes all
subsequent commands not to be displayed on the screen. To prevent
the ECHO OFF command from displaying itself, place the @ sign in
front of the command.
