use NUL after the pathname<\/a><\/p>\n The syntax for checking for a directory existance is…
\nif exist c:\\windows\\nul then goto exists<\/i><\/p>\n
I want to test for the existence of a folder with spaces in the name. The obvious solution is to enclose the name inside double quotes. I can’t seem to get that to work either.<\/p>\n
Here’s an example of what I’m trying:<\/p>\n
if exist “C:\\Documents and Settings\\NUL” goto YES
\necho The file does not exist
\ngoto END
\n:YES
\necho The file exists
\n:END<\/p>\n
I have tried using spaces and quote marks in various combinations. I cannot find a way to test for the existence of a directory with spaces in it. Can you help?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":11},"question-category":[55],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-7392","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/7392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=7392"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=7392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
