China DOS Union

Suppose

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\
exists 1.txt 2.txt
Execute
cd \
c:
dir /s /b 1.txt >ml.txt
dir /s /b 2.txt >>ml.txt
for /f %%i in (ml.txt) do @echo %%i | del %%i

The final result is not successful
Under the command line, use
for /f %i in (c:\ml.txt) do @echo %i
It shows: C:\Program
It doesn't show the entire path. I don't understand. For Program Files, it only shows the part before the space, not the entire path. So it's impossible to delete the file. How to avoid this space?
Tried these two
for /f %i in (c:\ml.txt) do @echo " %i"
for /f %i in (c:\ml.txt) do @echo %~fi


None of them work
:( I don't understand.

Hehe, do you know WHY? That's because your for command is missing a DELIMS= parameter. for /f " delims=" %i in (c:\ml.txt) do @echo %i Try it again, haha...........

thank bagpipe. It's okay. But still need to ask. Isn't delims the symbol to locate the delimiter? Is my previous failure because FOR itself defaults to the first column of each line in TOKEN? ^_^ It seems I still don't understand these parameters very well. "delims=" here, does it mean no delimitation, no delimiter? Need to study... Thanks a lot.

Because the default for DELIMS is spaces and <TAB>, so when there are spaces in a line, it only takes the content before the first space, got it???

"FOR itself defaults to the first column of each line in TOKEN"???

Sweat ah, I've been looking for the usage of for recently and actually didn't know there was such an important matter.
I can be considered to know how naive I am.

Unforgettable ah, the little one remembers:

For text lines with spaces, use delims=

The command is worth us to have an in - depth understanding.

Learning

for /f " delims=" %i in (c:\ml.txt) do @echo %i

The default delimiter for for is space, and "delims=" cancels the default delimiter to extract the entire line content.

Using "tokens=*" can also achieve the same effect, which assigns all content after column zero to a variable %%?
