windows - In a batch file, how would I find the specific folder it is in without the rest of its directory? -

okay, want batch file detect whether if can find file inhabiting , not else.

for example: receive path, (down there) variable %~dp1.

c:\users\%username%\desktop\file\file1.bat

but want receive section of directory, "\file\", , check whether batch file can find out if directory exists.

here solution, did not code solution file being in root.

variable f believe asking for.

foo.cmd

@echo off setlocal ::: p parent  ::: g grandparent ::: grandparent absolute ::: f folder of batch file set p=%~dp0 set g=%~dp0\.. /f "delims=" %%t in ("%g%") set "a=%%~ft" call set f=%%p:%a%=%% call set f=%%f:\=%%  echo p is: %p% echo g is: %g% echo is: %a% echo f is: %f%  endlocal
