Suppose I issue a request to a file from user mode. WriteFile(), for
example. Say this operation takes a long time to complete, maybe it's
writing a huge amount of data at once. In the middle of the write
operation, the OS pre-empts my thread and schedules something else.
My question is, while the other thread is running, is my write
operation still happening? Or will my write operation momentarily
pause while the other thread is running?

Thanks

is that I either quote the output or get an error.

Example:

echo "Debug|Win32"

Result:

"Debug|Win32"

But I don't want the double quotes, so I try to use an intermediate
variable:

set CONFIG="Debug|Win32"
echo %%CONFIG:"=%%

Result:

The command Win32 was not found or is misspelled.
