I want to do this %USERNAME%=Elaine Jack --> ElaineJack (without a space in between two words) i.e. %USERNAME% is a system variable, user name may be just one word like John, peter and so on. I will make this variable name to create a zip and run another code. Refer to courtesy help from But it still fails. Any help is appreciated. ThanksRef Link --Computing.net @Echo Off Set MyVar=AA AAAA Echo MyVar=[%MyVar%] Call :TRIM %MyVar% Echo MyVar=[%MyVar%] Set MyVar= GoTo :EOF :TRIM Set MyVar=%* GoTo :EOF

I thought I was with you after reading just your first comment. Then it got hazy. But to simply get a space out of a string: =========================================== @echo off & setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set str=joe smith echo !str! for /f "tokens=1-2 delims= " %%a in ("!str!") do ( set var=%%a%%b ) echo !var! ----------------------------- ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Set MyVar=AA AAAA BB BBBB set MyVar=%MyVar: =% echo %MyVar%
