Question

An example:

FOR %%i IN (3) DO (
    ECHO %%i
    FOR /R "C:\backup\server%%i\temp" %%? IN (*.bak) DO (
        REM some code...
    )
)

Result of ECHO: 3.

Result of second FOR: the code isn’t executed.

But with:

FOR %%i IN (3) DO (
    ECHO %%i
    FOR /R "C:\backup\server3\temp" %%? IN (*.bak) DO (
        REM some code...
    )
)

Result of ECHO: 3.

Result of second FOR: the code is executed.

Any idea?

Answer 1

Only solution i’ve found:

FOR %%i IN (3) DO (
    PUSHD "C:\backup\server%%i\temp"
    FOR /R %%g IN (*.bak) DO (
        REM some code...
    )
    POPD
)

If the [drive:]path are not specified they will default to the current
drive:path.

Edit: I added PUSHD/POPD after dbenham has answered. Thanks to him.
