China DOS Union

I want to make a batch file output a format like this into a text file
00-5E-8A-EE-8D-0D=192.168.0.37|37-YZ

This is the batch file I made
ipconfig /all >e:\ipconfig.txt
find "Physical Address" e:\ipconfig.txt >e:\phyaddr.txt
for /f "skip=2 tokens=12" %%M in (e:\phyaddr.txt) do set Mac=%%M
;The problem is here
echo %Mac%=192.168.0.%1|%1-YZ >>c:\1.txt
The | in the middle is the same as the pipe command under DOS, so if I change it to
echo %Mac%=192.168.0.%1"|"%1-YZ >>c:\1.txt
the output format becomes

00-5E-8A-EE-8D-0D=192.168.0.37"|"37-YZ
Could one of the experts point me to a solution?

　　Write it as echo %Mac%=192.168.0.%1^|%1-YZ >>c:\1.txt。

Tested, it works~ many thanks
Could you also explain what the ^ symbol does?

The ampersand (&), pipe (|), and parentheses ( ) are special characters that must be preceded by the escape character (^) or quotation marks when you pass them as arguments.

& | ( ) are all special characters. When these characters are passed as arguments, you must add the escape character ^ or put them in quotation marks.
