HELP: how to work with spaces in DOS?

[pslovo]

I accidently created file names with spaces in the name, i.e., ACE 005.DAT, ACE 006.DAT, etc.

Is there a way to get DOS to recognize the files that have spaces in the names?

[2k dummy]

When typing in the file name, insert a question mark (?) in the position of the space. This tells dos to accept ANY character in that position.

Thanks!!!!  I thought I was not going to be able to get to my data!

I tried copying the files using the ? in the spaces but that did not work...  It does work by renaming them with the REN command first, then copying them.

Again, many thnx....

Usually putting "doublequotes" around a non-8.3 file path allows DOS 7.x (Win9x) and later to access the file.
