For example what is the alternative to this command without quotation marks:
CD "c:\Documents and Settings"
The full reason I don't want to use quotation marks is that this command DOES work:
SVN add mypathname\*.*
but this command DOES NOT work :
SVN add "mypathname\*.*"
The problem being when I change mypathname for a path with spaces in it I need to quote the whole thing. For example:
SVN add "c:\Documents and Settings\username\svn\*.*"
But when I try this I get the following error message:
svn: warning: 'c:\Documents and Settings\username\svn\*.*' not found
