delete file with space in name in command prompt

[Drakujii]

Hi,

I've created a batch file that would delete all files in a directory. But when it gets to a file with a space in the name, it gives the error file not found.

Pocket CMD v. 3.0

thanks

Fred

Place Quotes (") around the file names, including the extention.

IE:

Delete "this is a file.ext"

and that will delete files with spaces in them. Or you can delete using their 8.3 standard file name by doing this

dir /x to find the 8.3 standard name and just delete using that name instead of the longer name with spaces.
