"As indicated by the other answers,
spaces at the end of a set command are significant,
so if you typeset foo=hello & echo testor even
set foo=hello␣
(where ␣ represents a space),
%foo% gets set to the six-character string h, e, l, l, o, .
I had a similar problem with space when echoing a string to an output file.
Not surprisingly (in light of the above),
echo hello >myfile
writes the six-character string h, e, l, l, o, (plus CR and LF)
to the file, while
echo hello> myfile
does not include the space.
But spaces at the end of the command line are still a problem.
If, for some reason, you sayecho hello>myfile␣
then you get a space at the end of the output.
When I removed the space after the filename,
the space at the end of the output disappeared.
Weird, but this worked for me."
