Is it POSSIBLE to check for a double quote at the END of a string?

Reason is, I've created a batch file where users drag and DROP a folder onto the batch file and it uses that as a parameter.

If the folder has a space it encloses it in double quotes, I can strip them off with the SET COMMAND...but if there is no space then it doesn't enclose it in quotes.

Code: [Select]set StartFolder=%1
if '%StartFolder%==' goto NoFolder
set tmpstr=%StartFolder:~-1%

rem *** If last char is double quote, strip them off - '" = Single the double quote***
if '%tmpstr% == '" set StartFolder=%StartFolder:~1,-1%

set tmpstr=%StartFolder:~-1%
rem *** If last char is not backslash, ADD one ***
if '%tmpstr% NEQ '\ set StartFolder=%StartFolder%\


How can I check if the parameter has quotes?Solved it by adding a ^ before the double quote...

Code: [Select]set StartFolder=%1
if '%StartFolder%==' goto NoFolder
set tmpstr=%StartFolder:~-1%

rem *** If last char is double quote, strip them off - '" = Single the double quote***
if '^%tmpstr% == '^" set StartFolder=%StartFolder:~1,-1%

set tmpstr=%StartFolder:~-1%
rem *** If last char is not backslash, add one ***
if '%tmpstr% NEQ '\ set StartFolder=%StartFolder%\
 You do know that the tilde variable modifier strips off any surrounding quotes from parameter strings?

If %1 is a passed parameter string, then %~1 is that same string but without any surrounding double quotes. (If no quotes are present then %1 and %~1 are identical)

For full details of variable modifiers see the FOR documentation e.g. by typing FOR /? at the prompt.
