|    FOR /F and delims=\ string processing    |

      Hi,              In a batch file, I want to assign a variable as a string with the current       directory stripped of the parent directories.              Say I am "in" (batch file doesn't know where it is run from):              C:\a\b\c\d              I want to set a variable to d.              If I do              set x=%cd%       echo %x%              Then the command screen shows:              C:\a\b\c\d                     I tried various ways of FOR /F with delims=\ to strip off all but "d", but I       can't figure it out.              I'm a hack when it comes to batch files. Does anyone know how to do this?              (I am trying to use it on Win7 command line at the moment.)              Thanks!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
