How do I modify this:
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b /s build\release\*.dll') do echo "%%a" to work when the path contains spaces?
For example, if this is run from
c:\my folder with spaces it will echo:
c:\my Thanks

When you send arguments, those with poison or space characters need to be doublequoted. Inside your batch file, if you no longer need the surrounding doublequotes, you'd remove them by using %~5 instead of %5 . Additionally the recommended syntax for the set command is Set "VariableName=VariableValue" .
Use double percent signs ( %% ) to carry out the for command within a batch file. Variables are case sensitive, and they must be represented with an alphabetical value such as %a, %b, or %c. ( <set> ) Required. Specifies one or more files, directories, or text strings, or a range of values on which to run the command.
When used in a command line, script, or batch file, %1 is used to represent a variable or matched string. For example, in a Microsoft batch file, %1 can print what is entered after the batch file name.
You need to use:
for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /s build\release\*.dll') do echo "%%a"
This overrides the default delimiters which are TAB and SPACE
