+The position of switches and parameters can be interchanged freely on the command line, except for the [Shell](reference/shell-command.md) command, which requires its switches and parameters in a specific order.
 
 Nearly every switch supported by a command has two forms: a short (one character) form and a long form. Multiple short-form switches can be combined into a group. For example, `/p /g /m` can be expressed alternately as `/pgm`.
 
 If short-form switches are combined into a group and given a value, that value applies to every switch. For example, `/pgm:123` equates to `/p:123 /g:123 /m:123`. An error occurs if any of the switches in the group does not accept a value.
 
 ## Escape Characters
-A caret (^) character in a command line means that the character immediately following it is interpreted literally, rather than as a control character. This can be used to embed straight quotation marks ("), spaces, leading slashes, carets, or any other literal characters in a parameter or switch value, with the exception of switch names. For example,

-A caret functions the same whether it is inside or outside quotation marks. If a caret is the last character on the line, it is ignored. The example shown here demonstrates how to search for the pattern "^t".

 ## Use Quotes for Path Names with Spaces
-If, for example, you want to open a file that has a path containing spaces, you must put double quotes around the path or path segment that contains spaces: **C:\\"Program Files"** or **"C:\Program Files"**.
