Solve : Command line removal of quotes?

Answer»

I consulted the "cmd /?" help, and it is CLEAR as mud.

I am passing an argument to a COMMAND line program, that may contain spaces.

I thought this would work;

pgm.exe "one one-and-one"

but the PGM is COMPLAINING of a " character, that I thought the command line processor would be kind enough to remove.

Thanks in advance for the correct DOS incantation.You can use the SET keyword to format the multiword parameter into a single word variable:

CODE: [Select]set var=one one-and-one
pgm.exe %var%
