Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

call SET %cd%.var=!%%cd%.var%!works

echo !%cd%.var!
I'm trying to echo the variable that was set in the fourth LINE of code. The output should simply read "works". I've checked and the variable is being set correctly. I just cant SEEM to echo it properly. Any ideas?

Thanks all.I think it is not going to work that WAY because the %cd% variable is going to have the colon CHARACTER ( which the SET command will try to use for string substitution. It looks like you are trying to set a variable for the current directory you are in? If so, you can modify your code to not include the ':' character ... something like
Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

call set %cd:~3%.var=!%%cd%.var%!works

echo !%cd:~3%.var!Quote from: GuruGary on January 15, 2009, 09:03:17 PM
