Working! Thank you very much, Serhii!

Let's say MyArchive.7z has been created in 7z-GUI, password protected with AB"AB In the console the command to extract such a password protected archive is 7za x "-pMyPassword" "MyArchive.7z" Following, however, won't work here, as " obviously needs to be escaped 7za x "-pAB"AB" "MyArchive.7z" Now, how do I extract MyArchive.7z in the console? Any help would be appreciated very much.

Edit: Forgot to mention "in a batch file" I use these commands in a batch file for extracting password protected 7z-archives: 7z x "-pMy Password" "My Example.7z" When my password is for example abc"def%ghi " and % need to be escaped like this: 7z x "-pabc""def%%ghi" "My Example.7z" I am looking for a comprehensive list with all special characters, which need to be escaped here and how they have to be escaped.

Thanks Deyan! I also learned about "EnableDelayedExpansion" when asking "chat.openai.com" for help earlier... Problem is, that your suggestion is quite extensive, several lines that is. What I need is a single line solution, because I want to use it in a batch file. That's what I tried to explain. Couple of years ago, I found and used a simple "DOS"-solution for appending strings to a text-file without line feed. But unfortunately I don't remember anymore how I did it ... :-( Actually, at the moment...

Sorry about bothering you again. I modified your command as follows: for /f "tokens=2" %I in ('call "C:\programs portable folder\7za.exe" t -p"My Strong Password" "C:\some archive folder\some test archive.7z"^|find "Size:"') do @echo %I >> totalsize.txt This writes the size to totalsize.txt So far so good. But I also want to add the archive path to totalsize.txt, but in the same line! Like this: some test archive|123000 another archive|10000 … How do I do that? Of course I know this command: echo...
