Wierd issue with batch file

[Dat_Typ]

I am currently writing a batch file, doesn't matter what for, my problem is just that if I want to add a free line between text, for example:

@echo off
echo RandomText
echo.
echo RandomText
pause

 

When I execute it, it shows:

RandomText
The command "echo." is either misspelled or could not be found. (Or whatever the correct english translation of this error might be)
RandomText
press any key to continue.

 

What makes the problem even more wierd for me is the fact that this error only occurs when I start My file as administrator, without admin rights the error doesn't occur.

My script needs admin rights to work properly.

Also I didn't have this problem yesterday, it just suddenly appeard out of nowhere, no changes to the code, nothing. And I can't get it to go away again.

 

Thank you in advance

Try

echo; 

instead of

echo.

That solved it.
