Can someone explain or provide solution for executing command whose path have multiple spaces?

Answer 1

I think you can just use single quotes to keep the multiple spaces:

cd \
set "d=One Space"
for /F "usebackq delims=#" %F in (`powershell -command "& {Get-ChildItem \'%d%\'}"`) do (echo %F)

set "e=Multiple         Space"
for /F "usebackq delims=#" %F in (`powershell -command "& {Get-ChildItem \'%e%\'}"`) do (echo %F)
