How to remove quotes in a variable in batch script

Question

I have an issue in batch programming. I fetch the strings generated by consoles, then the string contains double quotes and I will save that to a variable, like,

"/path/compile" -o source.cpp

And now my problem is, how can I remove this 2 double quotes? I'm not sure how to remove that quotes in the middle of the string.

Please advise
