I have a batch file using ROBOCOPY to copy FILES and folders from my C: drive to my shared network drive S:. It works fine when the folder names do not have blank spaces.
I have tried putting the names in quotes. That did not work. Here is the CMD line and the prompt set for the folder name.

Set /p folder=Enter MUSIC File Folder Name:
Robocopy c:\Users\Owner\Music\Recordings\%folder% s:\Shared-Music\%folder% /E

What do i need to do to get folder names with blank?
THANKS
Frank
are you sure you are using quotes around the whole thing like
Code: [Select]robocopy "c:\path\%folder%" "c:\destination\of files\"
and not

Code: [Select]robocopy c:\path\"%folder%" c:\destination\of files\""I put the quotes around the variable name INSIDE the %'s. like this %"folder"%
both in the bat and upon prompt entry (not at the same time).
I will try your suggestion
Thanks

This worked!
Robocopy "c:\Users\Owner\Music\Recordings\%folder%" "s:\Shared-Music\%folder%"

Thanks Frank C

%"folder"%

I hit a snag when I tried to add a log switch.
It failed both inside and outside of the quotes.
The //MIR switch worked OK outside of the quotes

Both of these failed:
Robocopy "c:\Users\Owner\Music\Recordings\%folder%" "s:\Shared-Music\%folder%" /Log:backup.txt

Robocopy "c:\Users\Owner\Music\Recordings\%folder%" "s:\Shared-Music\%folder% /Log:backup.txt"
