Manage Space in Command Option

Q

How to manage space characters in the command option?

A

If command option has space characters, you have to enclose the command option between a pair of double quotes.

For example, if you want search for files named partially as "Bug Fix" on the hard disk, you can end this command: 

C:\>dir /b /s "*Bug Fix*.*"

The pair of double quotes keeps the search string as a single option.
