Question

I want to get the filename from a filepath.
My problem is, that I found many solutions for handling it with input via parameters.
But I want to use a userinput instead of a parameter.

The soultion for parameters is:

%~nxI       //I could be number for the parameter count

My script actually looks like this:

   @echo off
   set /p path=Film: 
   echo %path2%
   pause

Now I want to get the filename + extension from %path% and write it to %path2%.

Could anyone help me please?

Answer 1

set /p x=Film:
echo %x%
for %%F in (%x%) do set q=%%~nF
echo %q%

…and for Pete’s sake do not prompt the user to set the PATH variable! use some other variable name!
