Windows 10: String with spaces in set /p (batch file)

Hi! I would like to let a user type in things with spaces in set /p. This is the code I currently have that does not work:

Code: :newdoc2 cls echo What do you want to say? set saynew=%randomnum% set /p saynew= if %saynew% == %randomnum% goto newdoc2 echo "%saynew%" >%namenew% goto start[/quote] This works if saynew has no spaces, but not if it does. If I type, for example, "hello people", it will briefly say "hello was not expected at this time" and then crash. What did I do wrong? I tried putting "" around %saynew%:

Code: echo "%saynew%" >%namenew%[/quote] but it did not work. Any ideas?

My file explorer user name is not compatible with the task scheduler

I reinstalled Windows 10 to my PC with my original USB key received and after that it was automatically upgraded with the V1709 version.

At the question "Who will use this computer", I unfortunately answered with my full name which is something like: J-P. myname (with a space before myname)

The result is the following in the file explorer:

C:\Users\J-P. myname and this seemed ok at that time.

After having reinstalled all my programs and data's, everything worked fine till I created a batch file that will be launched through a task in Task Scheduler.

The action was to start a program (batch file) located in: C:\Users\J-P. myname\Documents\mybatchfile.ffs_batch

The task scheduler has a problem to find that batch file and blocks due to the space between the dot (.) and myname.

The only solution I've found is to move my batch file to c:\ and it works correctly with that, but I don't like this solution.

Thanks in advance to give me a good idea to solve that.

 

E70 Bluetooth Conection with Volvo S80

Another syntax error- if there are spaces between string of contact number, eg. +65 1234567 it will not be sent to the phonebook. Where batch of contacts were marked, conforming contacts will be sent successfully.

 

If you need the whole thing, here it is:

Code: @echo off title Text Reader color 17 goto start set randomnum=%random% :start cls title Text Reader echo Type the location of the file and the filename. Type "end" to close, or type "new" to make a new document. set /p file= if %file% == new goto newdoc if %file% == end goto end if not exist %file% goto start goto main :main cls title %file% type %file% echo. echo (End of Document) echo Press any key to go back to start... pause >nul goto start :newdoc cls title New Document echo Type a name, and location if necessary. set namenew=0 set /p namenew= if %namenew% == 0 goto newdoc :newdoc2 cls echo What do you want to say? set saynew=%randomnum% set /p saynew= if %saynew% == %randomnum% goto newdoc2 echo "%saynew%" >%namenew% goto start :end exit[/quote]
