OT - Need help on DOS/NT batch file

[Clueless]

Howdy mates,

From within a batch file, is there a way to find out what the path of that batch file is? It's so easy to do in UNIX but I'm clueless on how to do it on Microsux platforms. Thanks for any help.

For what?

Can't you just use relative directory's and commands?

 

[office boy]

this might help you too


dir|find "Directory of"

That line will output the path.

also this will kinda work, but not if there are any spaces
@ECHO OFF
DIR > }1.BAT
DIR|find "Directory of" > }2.BAT
ECHO SET DRIVE=%%3>VOLUME.BAT
ECHO SET FOLDER=%%2>DIRECTORY.BAT
CALL }1
CALL }2
FOR %%F IN (DIRECTORY.BAT VOLUME.BAT }?.*) DO DEL %%F
ECHO Current drive is %DRIVE%
ECHO Current folder is %FOLDER%

 

[office boy]

or may this is what your looking for


::Change to drive of the batch
%0\

::Change to directory of the batch
cd %0\..

Thanks for your help office boy! This is what I finally settled on:

for %%I in (%0) do set EXE_PATH=%%~dpI
echo %EXE_PATH%
