Robocopy-Dealing with blank in directory name

[FrankGC]

Hi,
I have these commands in a batch file to copy Thunderbird archive emails to an external disk. For testing, I am running them from a DOS cmd prompt.

Set  InPath="C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\Local Folders\Archives.sbd\2013.mozmsgs"
Set  OutPath=\\EXTERNALDRIVE\Public\BackUp-Email\Sue-Email-Bkup\2013
Robocopy  %InPath%\  %OutPath%  /COPY:DATS  /Log:EmailBkupLog.txt

I get error 123 (0x0000007B accessing source directory C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\Local
The file name , directory name or volume label is  incorrect

The error is because Robocopy is not parsing Local Folders correctly because of the blank after Local
I have tried the following
two sets of quotes
Set  InPath="C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\"Local Folders"\Archives.sbd\2013.mozmsgs"

and-no quotes
Set  InPath=C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\Local Folders\Archives.sbd\2013.mozmsgs

and-entire path in quotes
Set  InPath="C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\Local Folders\Archives.sbd\2013.mozmsgs"

and this- I get no destination directory specified because of the quote around Local Folders
Set  InPath=C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\2l2fhjja.default\Mail\"Local Folders"\Archives.sbd\2013.mozmsgs

I need help in correctly specifying the input path.
Thanks

Greetings Frank,

Robocopy  %InPath%\  %OutPath%  /COPY:DATS  /Log:EmailBkupLog.txt

Try dropping that backslash '\'  and using:

Robocopy  %InPath% %OutPath%  /COPY:DATS  /Log:EmailBkupLog.txt

Best wishes!

Thanks for the reply OcalaBob,
 That fixed it. I also had to put both paths in quotes because of the UNC addressing for the external drive.
I fought that battle once before.
