title: How can I pass a space separated variable into a bat file?
body: <p>I am wanting to pass a space separated variable into a batch file like:</p>
  <pre><code>c:\applications\mi_pocess.bat A1 1AA
  </code></pre>
  <p>when I run <code>echo %1</code> in <code>mi_process</code> it returns <code>A1</code></p>
  <p>How would I go about it recognising <code>A1 1AA</code> to be a single string?</p>
  <p>I have tried wrapping it in Double quotes in my external software like</p>
  <pre><code>c:\applications\mi_pocess.bat + chr$(34) + A1 1AA + Chr$(34)
  </code></pre>
  <p>and <code>echo %1</code> now returns <code>&quot;A1 1AA&quot;</code> (I do not want the quote marks in the variable)</p>
