[BATCH] Copy a file to multiple folders

Bonjour,

I want to create a batch script that copies a PDF and pastes it into all folders of a specified path.

I have this:

FOR /d %%i in (D:\Application Data\*.*) do @copy "D:\UnPDF.pdf" %%i

And it doesn't work because of the space in the path "Application Data". If I use "ApplicationData", it works. But I absolutely need it to work with a space since this is just an example for copying a config file into an App Data folder.

Configuration: Windows / Vivaldi 2.2.1388.37

    No, putting quotes in the parentheses of the for in () does not work to accept spaces.

    With this command, it correctly displays the directories contained in .\..\Application Data\*. 
    C:> for /D %a in ("..\..\Application Data\*.*") do @echo %a

    Hi there!
    Isn’t "application data" stored in a predefined variable?
