Spaces in Filenames

Can someone tell me how to reference a filename with spaces in the name, example, " file name". I have a for loop that recompiles every file in the directory. It does not work because the name shave spaces in them. Please help. Thanks!

One thing you can do is eliminate the space by replacing it with a '-' or an underscore. This can be done by using the command "REN FILE?NAME FILE-NAME".
