Question

I’m trying to write a batch file to rip my dvds to the hard drive. I’d like the file names to be the volume label of the dvd, but I haven’t been able to determine a way to read the label of a disk in a batch file.

Is there a way to retrieve the volume label of a drive in a batch file so I can use it as the file name?

Try this:

for /f "tokens=1-5*" %%1 in ('vol') do (
   set vol=%%6 & goto done
)
:done
echo %vol%
