Concatenating strings in a batch file

In the batch file below I expect "C:\test Ground\" as the output

set loc= C:\test Ground\

set withQuotes="%loc%"

But what I get is " C:\test Ground\" (notice the extra leading space after the quotes begin)

How do I fix this?

Just get rid of the space between the = and the C on the first line:

set loc=C:\test Ground\

If that's not an option, you can extract the remainder of the string without the space using batch's substring functionality:

set withQuotes="%loc~1%"
