MD problem - Two word variable
Posted: 29 Nov 2013 12:49
Hi folks
Bit of help please for a new member. I'm creating a batch file to create directories from user input, of football team names.
I'm having problems with the last line of this code
It does exactly what I want, until I use a two word variable in either the home team or away team variables (hteam or ateam)
If I enter "aaa" for hteam, "ccc" for ateam and todays dates, I get one directory created as follows
11-29 - aaa v ccc
However, if I enter "aaa bbb" for hteam, "ccc ddd" for ateam and todays dates, I get three directories created as follows
11-29 - aaa
bbb v ccc
ddd
Instead of what I want as
11-29 - aaa bbb v ccc ddd
The variable works perfectly, if i use echo %hteam% it reports back "aaa bbb", so the problem is obviously with the MD command.
Is there a simple way to resolve this.
Thanks
Colin
