Change directory

October 9, 2005, 11:36

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to change to a directory which has spaces in its name through batch mode. The usual technique of including the name in the quotes (the way it is done in linux/unix) does not seem to work. Bye

Hi

You are using Windows. If it is Windows XP, then it should not pose any problem since you can write the full name after the command. If it is not working, as Windows is not consistent, then give command

dir /x

It will show you the abbreviated names. Use those names for changing directories.
