    FWIW the second output was wrong one
    $ "pa^th\this2.bat" thisdir="D:\pa^th\ thisfile="D:\pa^th\this2.bat thisfilebasename="this2 thisfilename="this2.bat thisfilecorion="D:\pa^th\this2.pl thisfilepl="D:\pa^th\this2.pl $ echo D:\path\this2.bat D:\path\this2.bat escaped-thisfile "D:\pa\^th\this2.bat"
