I have a batch file which takes as an argument a file path
set filePath = %1
Now, lets say the file path is: C:\Temp\Folder, I want to set the Folder in a new variable. How can I do that?
I search on the web and all solutions are something like this:
for %%A in (%filePath%) do set last=%%A
but this works only for string with spaces.
You can extract Folder from C:\Temp\Folder by applying the ~n modifier to %1:
SET "last=%~n1"
If the last item may contain ., use ~nx instead:
SET "last=%~nx1"
The ~n modifier applies to a positional parameter or a loop variable and extracts the last name from the path specified by that parameter or variable. The ~x modifier extracts the extension of the last name (the part starting from the last .). Accordingly, ~nx extracts both the (last) name and the extension.
