Make Directory with space

[atamo]

Hy

I need to copy some file in a subfolder of Program Files ,but because Program Files contain a space can't create the directory.

Code: Select all

md c:\Program Files\ProgramName

 or

md %ProgramFiles%\ProgramName

Create a new folder with Program's name but I need to make a directory in Program Files

Any ideea ???

[!k]

The special characters that require quotes are:
<space>
&()[]{}^=;!'+,`~

Thank's , I forget it.....


but

Code: Select all

MD %programfiles%\Folder

why don't work ?

[aGerman]

Because %programfiles% expands to the real path. It could contain something like C:\Program Files and as you can see there is a space again.

Try

Code: Select all

MD "%programfiles%\Folder"

as suggested before.

is there a way to do this with the %date% variable used? i didn't have any luck with it.

[!k]

md "%date:/= %"
/ is your delimiter in date format
also : and \ not allowed in names
