How to combine two variables directly in batch file?

Question

I am writing simple batch file as post-build action in Visual Studio and I cannot get rid of quotes which are added when I am combining two variables. The code looks like this:

set SolutionDir=%1
set ConfigurationName=%2

set AltSourceDir=%SolutionDir%\%ConfigurationName%

echo "%AltSourceDir%"

In the point of merge I get quotation marks:

""D:\WORK\Extractor\"\"Release""

How to merge them directly?

How do you provide the parameters when you call the batch file? — user330315

@a_horse_with_no_name, as "$(SolutionDir)" "$(ConfigurationName)" -- this part is intended, otherwise I would get splits on whitespaces (if present). — greenoldman

%~1 removes quotes. See call /?.
