Problem facing in adding folder having space

Question

I have an unversioned folder "Data Files" in D:\test\prototype\AtlasTools\Transforms\SxS\src\ folder.
I need to add these folder using commandline.
I used the following code to add

for /f "usebackq tokens=2*" %i in (`svn status ^| findstr /r "^\?"`) do svn add "%i"

But it is showing error like "SxS\src\Data cannot be found. Actually my folder name is "Data Files" .

can anyone help me to add a folder having space in it?

it's urgent..

Answer 1

Escape the space with a backslash.

or

If you want a directory with a name that has a space in it, such as "My Files" you need include the command in " ".

Answer 2

Does it work if you enclose the folder name in quotes? (that's the entire pathname including the folder)

Apart from that, I tend to agree with Stephen C that spaces in folder names will, sooner or later, come back and bite you.

Answer 3

hey guys

for /f "usebackq tokens=2*" %i in (svn status ^| findstr /r "^\?") do svn add "%i %j"

this is the solution for this...
