how to add a configuration parameter with spaces on Jenkins

[Jesus Fernandez]

I have a pipeline which builds a C++ project for that I am using MSBuild, untill now we were using the "Final" configuration parameter, but now I need to switch it to "Release Steam D3D11", when I try to do that I get an error on Jenkins when building the project I guess it is because of the spaces, how can I make Jenkins to take this parameter? this is what I have tried:

```

stage('Build'){

            steps{

                script {

                    def msbuild = tool name: 'MSBuild', type: 'hudson.plugins.msbuild.MsBuildInstallation'

                    bat "\"${msbuild}\" AoC/Source/project-GRDK.sln /t:Rebuild /p:configuration=Release Steam D3D11" 

                } 

            }

        }

```

I have also tried adding ' ' to the configuration name such as : 

```

bat "\"${msbuild}\" AoC/Source/project-GRDK.sln /t:Rebuild /p:configuration='Release Steam D3D11'" 

```

but it does not work neither

Did you try with escaped double quotes?  Something like:

• bat "\"${msbuild}\" AoC/Source/project-GRDK.sln /t:Rebuild /p:configuration=\"Release Steam D3D11\" " 

You can also use the multilne approach to avoid the escape of double quotes:

• bat """ "${msbuild}" AoC/Source/project-GRDK.sln /t:Rebuild /p:configuration="Release Steam D3D11" """
