Using the run command tool to create a new directory

[amberferger]

I am attempting to use the run command tool to create a new folder within a current directory. The base directory has special characters and spaces in it, so I need to use double quotes around the base path. 

Unfortunately, when I attempt to add the double quotes, Alteryx ends up storing an extra set of quotes around the entire command. 

Example output from Alteryx: 

Command
"mkdir ""s:\corp\name1 & name2\2019_Q2"""

Proper output:

Command
mkdir ""s:\corp\name1 & name2\2019_Q2""

Has anyone else experienced this before and/or know how to prevent Alteryx from storing the extra set of quotes?

Thanks!

When building a .bat file in Alteryx make sure you set the output to csv and 'Quote Output Fields' option to Never. See the attached.

Thank you so much - this worked perfectly!
