asked on DOS Command Switches - Use double quotes in switch arguments?
I've been banging my head against the wall for the last two hours with a bcp call for MSSQL.
bcp MyDB.dbo.MyTable in "C:\..." -S MyServer\MyInstance -T -f "C:\MyBCPFormatFile.xml"
On a whim, I added double quotes to the argument associated with the server switch, and it worked! (Note the quotes around MyServer\MyInstance.)
bcp MyDB.dbo.MyTable in "C:\..." -S "MyServer\MyInstance" -T -f "C:\MyBCPFormatFile.xml"
Is it safe to always wrap the arguments associated with a switch (option) with double-quotes?
