Get current folder name instead of current path in windows batch file

Question

Get current folder name by a DOS command?

In my batch file, I have,

SET currentFolder=%CD%
echo "%currentFolder%"

Prints the whole directory path.

C:\www\scritps\

I need to get scripts alone

Solution

There really isn't an easy way to do it. This works in a .bat file:

for %%* in (.) do @echo %%~n*

that's fantastic (of course, * can be replaced with a letter), out of interest, howcome you used * ? btw, FWIW for any that don't know, # and ? work too. %%? and %%#

I didn't want to use something like "x" (or another letter) because I didn't want the original poster to get confused at the "~nx" part. But you're right, you could substitute any letter there. Coding in DOS .bat is so archaic that it's sometimes difficult to see what's going on.

This doesn't play well with directories that use . in their names. Any tips?
