Get filename in batch for loop
batch-file, cmd, windows
Solution
When Command Extensions are enabled (Windows XP and newer, roughly), you can use the syntax %~nF (where F is the variable and ~n is the request for its name) to only get the filename.
FOR /R C:\Directory %F in (*.*) do echo %~nF
should echo only the filenames.
Problem
I have the following For loop in a batch file: ``` for /R c:\test\src %%i IN (*.*) DO ( MOVE %%i C:\test\destination ECHO %%i exit ) ``` The result of the ECHO outputs the entire file path Ex: C:\Foldername\Filename I need to ECHO out only the Filename.Is there a specific command which would give me the filename ? Thanks !
