Robocopy quotation marks erro

[Ales Baranek]

I'm trying to write script with robocopy command but folders with a space in
the name (c:\program files) I cannot copy.
Therefore i tried the commands bellow, one witch quotation marks and second
without it.
Command with quotation marks ends with error No Destination Directory
Specified.
How to write command correctly?

1) Directory specifications for Robocopy must not end with a
back-slash ("\").
2) Names with spaces must be surrounded by double-quotes.

I solve problems with spaces and different czech encoding (in notepad and in "dos") in directory
names using short names.

i.e. "c:\program files" -> "c:\progra~1" etc

use dir /x to view short names

Works, but... when you are copying folder trees, you generally want the
destination names to be the same as the source names. If you xcopied
"C:\progra~1" elsewhere, it would most probably wind up with its "long" name
and 8.3 name both being "progra~1" - unless of course, one were to script
the creation of individual folders and copy them one at a time. Yuk.
