In batch I can search a file with the following command:
C:\>DIR /S /B PROGRAMA.EXE
And if the file is found it will return like this:
C: \ Users \ Dev \ Desktop \ Program.exe
I would like to be able to get in the result only the directory without the file name, or just C:\Users\Dev\Desktop\ to be able to only assign the path to a variable.
How can I do this in CMD?
I was able to solve the problem with this code:
Option to assign all directories to different variables:
@Echo Off
C:
cd /
Set "i=0"
For /F "Delims=" %%A In ('Dir/B/S/A-D "Program.exe" 2^>Nul') Do (Set/A "i+=1"
Call Set "OnlyPath[%%i%%]=%%~dpA")
Set OnlyPath[
Timeout -1
Option to assign the last directory to a variable:
@echo off
set "Working_Folder=C:"
For /F "Delims=" %%F In ('Dir /B /S /A-D "%Working_Folder%\PROGRAM.exe" 2^>Nul') Do (
Set "MyFolder=%%~dpF"
)
Echo "%MyFolder%" & pause>nul
I suggest creating a batch mydir.bat :
@echo off
set MASK=*.java
for /F %%i in ('dir %MASK% /S /B' ) do (
rem nome de arquivo e extensão (arquivo.txt)
set FON=%%~nxi
rem extensão (.txt)
set EXT=%%~xi
rem nome do arquivo (arquivo)
set PAT=%%~ni
rem unidade e diretório (c:\tmp\)
set PAT=%%~dpi
rem Imprime localização do arquivo
echo %%~dpi
)
