Question

I have the following command which will loop over all the subdirectories in a specific location and output the full path:

for /d %i in ('E:\Test\*') do echo %i 

Will give me:

E:\Test\One E:\Test\Two 

But how do I get both the full path, and just the directory name, so the do command might be something like:

echo %i - %j 

And the output might be something like:

E:\Test\One - One E:\Test\Two - Two 

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The following command syntax can be used to return the full path or directory name only:

%~fI        - expands %I to a fully qualified path name %~nI        - expands %I to a file name only 

Using your example, the following command will list directories in the format that you specified:

for /d %i in ('E:\Test*') do echo %~fi - %~ni
