How do I remove the quotes from a variable in a cmd shell?
You need to use ~ parameter extension together with for /f to do this.
Use the following command:
for /f %i in ('FORFILES /S /M *.dmg /C "cmd /c if @fsize equ 1595694080 echo @fname"') do @echo %~i
To set a variable, and in a batch file, use the following command:
for /f %%i in ('FORFILES /S /M *.dmg /C "cmd /c if @fsize equ 1595694080 echo @fname"') do @set MyVariable=%%~i
Notes:
%~1Expand%1removing any surrounding quotes (")- In a batch file replace
%iwith%%iand%~iwith%%~i

How do I remove the quotes from a variable in a cmd shell?
You need to use ~ parameter extension together with for /f to do this.
Use the following command:
for /f %i in ('FORFILES /S /M *.dmg /C "cmd /c if @fsize equ 1595694080 echo @fname"') do @echo %~i
To set a variable, and in a batch file, use the following command:
for /f %%i in ('FORFILES /S /M *.dmg /C "cmd /c if @fsize equ 1595694080 echo @fname"') do @set MyVariable=%%~i
Notes:
%~1Expand%1removing any surrounding quotes (")- In a batch file replace
%iwith%%iand%~iwith%%~i
