Solve : Set Var=?? |

Answer» Thank you thank you thank you. Is there a way around this to force it to take the actual location of the bat file so I can remove it? the filename + extension of a batch file is contained in the variable %0 (percent zero). The full name would be %~dpnx0 so, adding quotes in case the path and/or name has spaces, del "%~dpnx0" would make a batch delete itself, but you would get an error message because you have deleted the running batch from within itself. Ok, so %0 gives me the whole path, but what is the ~dpnx REFER to? or is that like sending commands to the delete command? Ok, I think I found something. I did Call /? in a command prompt and find %~dp1 - expands %1 to a drive letter and path only, but still confused on the nxThey are standard variable modifiers. If you typed for /? at the command prompt, didn't you see this? %~I - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (") %~fI - expands %I to a FULLY qualified path name %~dI - expands %I to a drive letter only %~pI - expands %I to a path only %~nI - expands %I to a file name only %~xI - expands %I to a file extension only %~sI - expanded path contains short names only %~aI - expands %I to file attributes of file %~tI - expands %I to date/time of file %~zI - expands %I to size of file they can be combined to get compound results: %~dpI - expands %I to a drive letter and path only %~nxI - expands %I to a file name and extension only %~fsI - expands %I to a full path name with short names only so if %0 is a batch file's own name and extension, then %~d0 is its drive letter with a colon %~p0 is the full path to its folder %~n0 is its bare name without extension %~x0 is its extension with a dot before in front of it (usually .bat or .CMD) Put them together adding quotes in case the path has spaces and you get: "%~dpnx0" Thank you for the explanation. |
