How can I test my string as if it is a quote (“) or not.
The default escape character is ‘^’, isn’t it?
So I tried the following but with no success yet:

if  "!first_char!" == "^"" (...)

I tried double quote, too:

if  "!first_char!" == """" (...)

Thanks!

    The problem is not with the right part of the comparison, but with the left part. As first_char contains a quote, then the left operand of the comparison does not make sense. So you have to escape with ^ the variable that holds the ".

    try something like this…

    if .^!first_char!.==.^". (@echo ^!first_char! YES) else (@echo ^!first_char! NO)
