Batch Extract path and filename from a variable

Question

How can I extract path and filename from a variable?

Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set file=C:Usersl72rugschiriDesktopfs.cfg

I want to do that without using any function or any GOTO. is it possible?

Answer 1

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
set file=C:Usersl72rugschiriDesktopfs.cfg
FOR %%i IN ("%file%") DO (
ECHO filedrive=%%~di
ECHO filepath=%%~pi
ECHO filename=%%~ni
ECHO fileextension=%%~xi
)

Not really sure what you mean by no "function"

Obviously, change ECHO to SET to set the variables rather thon ECHOing them...

See for documentation for a full list.

FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ("%file%") DO (
ECHO filedrive=%%~di
ECHO filepath=%%~pi
ECHO filename=%%~ni
ECHO fileextension=%%~xi
)
