Dos help

[8]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a dos batch file to copy documents from one location to another. Whwn I run the file I get 'The syntax of the command is incorrect'. I'm guessing this is because I have spaces in the directory to copy to, example:

c:\Program Files\Common Files\etc

Anyone know how to get round this?

Yes - enclose the whole path or path & filename in double quotes, e.g.

copy "c:\Program Files\My Silly Filename.txt" "c:\My Silly Path"
