How to remove double quotes from a variable in a batch file?

Question

var may be double quoted:

    set var="Very long text"

or without quotes:

    set var=Some_Text

I would like to get the unquoted text, i.e. Very long text in the first case and Some_Text in the second one.

How could I remove the double quotes, if exist ?

Much easier is the following solution I found in Stackoverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/a/5242166/1016343](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5242166/1016343) — Matt, Nov 23 '12 at 10:13

I found also this solution, which looks nice: `set var=%var:"=%`. Thanks for your time ! – Misha Moroshko Oct 02 '10 at 15:14
