If you need to concatenate paths with quotes  you can use   to replace quotes in a variable  This does not require you to know if the path already contains quotes or not  If there are no quotes  nothing is changed   echo off rem Paths to combine set DIRECTORY  quot C  Directory with spaces quot  set FILENAME  quot sub directory filename txt quot   rem Combine two paths set COMBINED  quot  DIRECTORY  quot     FILENAME  quot    quot  echo  COMBINED   rem This is just to illustrate how the   operator works set DIR WITHOUT SPACES  DIRECTORY  quot    echo  DIR WITHOUT SPACES

Note that if strings has spaces then quotation marks are needed at definition and must be chopped while concatenating   rem The retail files set set FILES SET     exe   dll   rem The debug extras files set set DEBUG EXTRA     pdb   rem Build the DEBUG set without any set FILES SET  FILES SET  1 -1  DEBUG EXTRA  1 -1   rem Append the closing bracket set FILES SET  FILES SET    echo  FILES SET    Cheers
