Solve : REMOVAL of file path from DOS variable?

1.	Solve : REMOVAL of file path from DOS variable?
Answer» hi, sorry if this has been ASKED and answered before, im terrible at searching forums i need to remove the filepath from a dos variable which is passed on the command line eg dosapp.bat C:\blabla\bla bla bla\filename.ext INSIDE dosapp.bat %1 will be C:\blabla\bla bla bla\filename.ext how can i PARSE that to make a second variable just filename.ext ive just tried for about an hour using the FOR command and %%_nx etc but no joy, does anyone have a nice ELEGANT solution ? thanks in advance You have the right idea. I think your error was the underscore instead of a squiggle: Code: [Select]echo off for /f %%V in ("%1") do echo %%~nxV Good luck.
