add space to batch file

Question

How my bath file can process space in path example:

C:\Documents and Settings\K\Desktop\New Folder

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
IF EXIST "%1" GOTO DECODE_INDIVIDUAL

:DECODE_MULTIPLE
xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y "%cd%\encoded" "%cd%\decoded\"
dir %cd%\decoded\*.php  /A:-D /B /O:N /S >> %cd%\filelist.txt

@echo on
for /F %%e in (%cd%\filelist.txt) do ( copy "%%e" "bin\file.php" && "php.exe" "bin\decoder.php" "bin\file.php" && move "bin\file.php" "%%e" && del "bin\file.php")
del /Q "%cd%\filelist.txt"
GOTO DECODE_END

:DECODE_INDIVIDUAL
@echo on
"php.exe" "%cd%\bin\decoder.php" "%1"

:DECODE_END

CMD doesn’t like spaces in directories so use quote your path as below:

“C:\Documents and Settings\K\Desktop\New Folder”

I added quotes around a few file path locations... this should work:

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
IF EXIST "%1" GOTO DECODE_INDIVIDUAL

:DECODE_MULTIPLE
xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y "%cd%\encoded" "%cd%\decoded\"
dir "%cd%\decoded\*.php"  /A:-D /B /O:N /S >> "%cd%\filelist.txt"

@echo on
for /F "tokens=*" %%e in ("%cd%\filelist.txt") do ( copy "%%e" ".\bin\file.php" && "php.exe" ".\bin\decoder.php" ".\bin\file.php" && move ".\bin\file.php" "%%e" && del ".\bin\file.php")
del /Q "%cd%\filelist.txt"
GOTO DECODE_END

:DECODE_INDIVIDUAL
@echo on
"php.exe" "%cd%\bin\decoder.php" "%1"

:DECODE_END

C:\Documents and Settings\K\Desktop\DECODER>(copy "C:\Documents" ".\bin\file.php " && "php.exe" ".\bin\decoder.php" ".\bin\file.php" && move ".\bin \file.php" "C:\Documents" && del ".\bin\file.php" ) The system cannot find the file specified. – user699998 Mar 20 '13 at 14:35
How about now? I added a tokens option to the for statement. – Glenn Sullivan Mar 20 '13 at 17:47
