-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
When using SourceSafe Command Line commands, such as SS CD or SS CP, to set the
current project, you need to use quotation marks (" ") around a project name
that contains a space. The quotation marks must surround the entire project path
name or switch.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Failure to enclose the project name in quotation marks results in the following
error message:
You may only specify one project for this command
Follow this example for any SourceSafe command line command that contains a
space.
Step-by-Step Example
--------------------
From the Command prompt or MS-DOS session:
1. Change to the Root ($/) project:
SS CP $/
NOTE: SourceSafe returns: Current Project is $/.
2. Create a project named First Project from the Root:
SS CREATE "First Project"
(Note the quotation marks around the project name.)
NOTE: This command without the quotes, that is SS CREATE First Project, will
create two projects, one named First and the other Projects.
3. Change to the new project:
SS CP "$/First Project"
