Avoiding DOS space related "path not found errors"
Well I have a lot of scripts that require dragging and dropping files in order to define Source files etc.

However more often then not it is the case that the path to said file contains NUMEROUS spaces.

I know one way to evade this problem is to encase the path in Quotes like this:

Code:
"C:/Path/to file/"

Sadly it seems that this won't solve all problems related to this.

I recall that it was possible to have DOS recognize Space's in paths and work without a hitch by calling a specific command prior to the path.

Since I could not find said command again:

Any help appreciated.
