Properly escaping a path with spaces in CMD shell

  • 772

I have the following path:

"d:\workspace\Server trunk - CI\make\make & publish.bat"

However, when I try to execute this from a cmd shell, I get the error:

'd:\workspace\Server' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to escape those spaces properly?
