   Can't fix code if you don't provide it.   
      
   Chances are that, you're not double quoting a variable when needed. So, when   
   the variable content has space(s) in it, the space(s) in the expanded string   
   will be treated as a command line argument separator.   
      
   The file should be done like this.   
      
   @echo off   
   setlocal enabledelayedexpansion   
   set "input=source.txt"   
   set "output=result.txt"   
   >"%output%" (   
     for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%A in ("%input%") do (   
       rem check for empty/white-spaces string   
       2>nul set /a "x=1*%%B1"   
       if !x! == 0 (   
         rem not empty or only has white-spaces   
         echo %%A:%%B   
       ) else echo %%A: None   
     )   
   )
