According to address@hidden on 5/20/2008 9:14 PM:
| Thanks for you rapid response.

| My rm command use background:

You didn't answer what version of rm, nor which platform provides it:

rm --version

then are you using cygwin, mingw, GnuWin32, or some other port?

| I use it in a cpy.bat file

So you are dealing with cmd.exe syntax for argument quoting rules.  But
that still doesn't help us help you - without knowing which windows port
you are using, we don't know if it expects \ (as in mingw) or / (as in
cygwin) as the directory separator, once rm sees the arguments as
collected by the shell.  You really are better off asking on the mailing
list of wherever you got your pre-compiled rm, rather than on this list.
