batch file for loop with spaces in dir name

Question

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

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
