Solve : wat is wrong in the syntax??

Answer»

the below code is working to move File.txt from Input folder to OutPut.

echo off
chdir c:\InPut
dir /B > File.txt
move File.txt c:OutPut
PAUSE

But when i try to move that to desktop, its telling error as
"the syntax of the command is incorrect".like below

echo off
chdir c:\InPut
dir /B > File.txt
move File.txt %userprofile%\Desktop\
pause
Have you checked the value of the %userprofile% variable? It probably CONTAINS space(s) which require you to use quotes.

Code: [Select]echo off
chdir c:\InPut
dir /B > File.txt
move File.txt "%userprofile%\Desktop"
pause

 If using Windows XP, it definitely contains SPACES, as it contains "Documents and Settings"Thanks Sidewinder - I made the same rookie mistake.

I had "his or her account" in my brain but my fingers typed "his or account".

I knew that...
