Manage Space in Command Name

Q

How to manage space characters in the command name?

A

If the command you want to run is an executable program and the program name or path has space characters, you have to enclose the command name between a pair of double quotes.

For example, if you want to run the "7z.exe" program located in the "\Program Files\7-Zip" folder, you need to enclose the path name (the folder and the file name) of the "7z.exe" program in double quotes as the command name:

C:\fyicenter>"\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" i | more
