Batch file example: -- Create a text file with embedded spaces dir > dir.txt -- Add "BEGINNING---" and "---END" to each line. See "out.txt" for results. for /f "delims=~" %%a in (dir.txt) do echo BEGINNING---%%a---END >> out.txt To have the batch file ignore the default behaviour or space and tab delimiters, simply declare a different delimiter (one that probably won’t show up in your file…like a tilde (~), grave (`), etc).

Batch file example:

– Create a text file with embedded spaces
dir > dir.txt
– Add “BEGINNING—” and “—END” to each line. See “out.txt” for results.
for /f “delims=~” %%a in (dir.txt) do echo BEGINNING—%%a—END >> out.txt
