I need a batch file command which will select user’s directory path (user input)

  • 0

I need a batch file command which will select user’s directory path (user input) and it should create a directory which is quoted by me.

For example, if the user select the path “C:\New folder”, then the batch file should create “C:New folder\Folder1\Folder2”. The path “Folder1\Folder2” is my directory and it should create along with the user’s path “C:New folder” by such as mkdir “Folder1\Folder2”. This is for copying some files to that folder.

(QUESTION UPDATED) My code so far :

@echo off
set /p var=Enter destination folder:
mkdir "MyFolder\Folder1" %var%
xcopy file.exe "MyFolder\Folder1" %var%

But, it doesnt work anymore. It will create “MyFolder\Folder1” on the current directory only. But, the structure is exactly this is. The path “Myfolder\Folder1” should create along with the user’s path. What should i do..? 🙁

    In your script you have not mentioned where to create the myfolder…

    The script should be something like below. 

    set /p var=Enter destination folder
mkdir %var%\sample1

    Make sure the destination folder is proper.
    Give a message on how the destination folder should look like.

    You can even pass it as paramater and use %1 in place of %var%.
