Removing spaces from a variable in batch

Question

I am writing a file to remove spaces from filenames in a folder and then put the result in a .txt file. I just get a result of \"Echo is on.\" over and over.

Answer 1

Removing all spaces (not just leading and trailing) can be done without using setlocal enabledelayedexpansionwith the following line:

set var=%var: =%

This works by replacing all spaces in the string with the empty string.
