Removing double quotes from variables in batch file creates problems with CMD environment

Question

Can anybody help with effective and safe way of removing quotes from batch variables?

I have written a batch file which successfully imports a list of parameters %1,

Answer 1

I learned from this link, if you are using XP or greater that this will simply work by itself:

SET params = %~1

I could not get any of the other solutions here to work on Windows 7.

To iterate over them, I did this:

FOR %%A IN (%params%) DO (    
   ECHO %%A    
)

Note: You will only get double quotes if you pass in arguments separated by a space typically.
