windows - batch file for loop with spaces in dir name

Question

How do I modify this:

for /f %%a IN ('dir /b /s build
elease*.dll') do echo "%%a"

to work when the path contains spaces?

For example, if this is run from

c:my folder with spaces

it will echo:

c:my

Thanks

You need to use:

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir /b /s build elease*.dll') do echo "%%a"

This overrides the default delimiters which are TAB and SPACE
