How to handle the closing bracket in path names in a for loop?

I have a long path name for the program that I have to run in the for / f loop, which includes the closing bracket ")", and from which I need to parse the output:

for /f "tokens=1" %%G in ('"C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount\Desktop\Test_release (x86)\program.exe" list') do (echo Will do something with %%G)

... where "list" is the parameter passed to my program. I get the error "C: \ Documents" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operating program or batch file. "

I know that the problem is that the closing bracket actually closes the “for” block, so trailing double quotes are not “visible”, so the long path name is no longer enclosed in double quotes. I don’t understand why this is happening, since my path is enclosed in double quotes? I also tried the usebackq option:

for /f "usebackq tokens=1" %%G in (`"C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount\Desktop\Test_release (x86)\program.exe" list`) do (echo Will do something with %%G)

... without the best results. I tried to run away like this "^)" or something like this "^^)", nothing to do. Tried to double double quotes:

for /f "tokens=1" %%G in ('""C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount\Desktop\Test_release (x86)\program.exe"" list') do (echo Will do something with %%G)

Still not working.

In addition, I use a variable that contains a path that is not known in advance (built from% CD%), and EnableDelayedExpansion is activated . I tried a slow extension (which fixed similar problems in other situations) to prevent the variable from expanding while reading and delaying it at runtime:

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set _var=%CD%\program.exe
@REM _var now contains C:\Documents and Settings\myaccount\Desktop\Test_release (x86)\program.exe
for /f "tokens=1" %%G in ('"!_var!" list') do (echo %%G)
endlocal

Still not working, I don’t understand why.

But , doubling double quotes with slow expansion in the above code:

for /f "tokens=1" %%G in ('""!_var!"" list') do (echo %%G)

!... ... ??? ? . , ...

HELP CMD

If /C or /K is specified, then the remainder of the command line after
the switch is processed as a command line, where the following logic is
used to process quote (") characters:

    1.  If all of the following conditions are met, then quote characters
        on the command line are preserved:

        - no /S switch
        - exactly two quote characters
        - no special characters between the two quote characters,
          where special is one of: &<>()@^|
        - there are one or more whitespace characters between the
          two quote characters
        - the string between the two quote characters is the name
          of an executable file.

    2.  Otherwise, old behavior is to see if the first character is
        a quote character and if so, strip the leading character and
        remove the last quote character on the command line, preserving
        any text after the last quote character.
