Question

I need to return a full directory name from inside a specified directory that contains .default in the folder name.
Basically I’m adding a line in a backup script to backup firefox bookmarks, but the profile name is going to be different on every machine and I need a way to find the folder the bookmarks.html file resides without knowing the firefox profile name

I’ve looked at FIND and FINDSTR but neither seem to be what I need. I also looked at this post: Windows batch file: get folders' path and store them in variable
It was closer to what I’m looking for, but I just need a folder name, and to use something like regexp to find it

Any suggestions on commands to look at or strategies to use?

Found a way to get the results I want:

FOR /D %%G in ("%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default") DO Echo ***Found folder: %%G
