Get Filename in DOS for loop

Question

I have the following For loop in a batch file:

for /R c:\test\src %%i IN (*.*) DO (
MOVE %%i C:\test\destination
ECHO %%i
exit
)

The result of the ECHO outputs the entire file path Ex: C:\Foldername\Filename I need to ECHO out only the Filename.Is there a specific command which would give me the filename ? Thanks !

Answer 1

When Command Extensions are enabled (Windows XP and newer, roughly), you can use the syntax %~nF to only get the filename.

FOR /R C:\Directory %F in (*.*) do echo %~nF

should echo only the filenames.

Answer 2

or Just %~F will give you the full path and full file name.

For example, if you want to register all *.ax files in the current directory....

FOR /R C:. %F in (*.ax) do regsvr32 "%~F"

This works quite nicely in Win7 (64bit) :-)
