The following is a cmd command to move a file:
sysopts="cmd(move \\server\WCM San Francisco\DEV\&F D:\Apps\dev\FileWatcherExtract\Outbound\&F) desktop(yes)"
however the file is unable to move because there are spaces in the folder (WCM San Francisco). so i put in quotes for the folder "\\server\WCM San Francisco\DEV\&F". however, this caused an error as i have quotes preceding the cmd command. i am unable to remove the quotes preceding the cmd command. does anyone know how i can execute the script given the source folder has quotes in it?

Truncate the name of the file the way DOS always did. Let's say I'm at a command prompt in the root directory which is C: and I want to change directories to documents and settings, which has white spaces.
C:\>cd docume~1
C:\DOCUME~1>
Now I'm in the documents and settings directory. In your case it would be wcmsan~1 You take the first 6 characters and and ~1 That's your directory.

Summary: Oh shoot...I just realized. in order to use the %username% variable, it needs to pull that info from somewhere. Without an actual username to associate the variable to the file copy will go nowhere....
