teamcity command line interpretter : quotes are replaced

Question

I need to run a simple command line within teamcity

FINDSTR /M /N /P /S /R /C:"goto end" D:\blabla\*

The double quote are replaced and somehow doubled when teamcity calls the command. The resulting command is

cmd.exe /c FINDSTR /M /N /P /S /R "/C:"goto end""

Which fails.

How can I prevent this from happening? The value for param /C requires a param with double quotes in my case. thanks

What do you mean 'within teamcity' ? Did you try execute build step with runner 'Command Line'? In this case TeamCity wrap your commands in bat file and this problem should not arise... — Sergey Azarkevich, Jul 08 '15 at 12:21

Put your command in a batch file and call that passing in whatever arguments (if any) you need.

Whenever you do anything like this on windows, always do this :)

Your example:

FINDSTR /M /N /P /S /R /C:"goto end" D:\blabla\*

Works as-is, in TeamCity 2018.1.3, using a Command Line runner with the above specified in the Custom Script section.
