I would like a batch script to all the text documents in a folder. This is what I have managed so far:
@ECHO off
title Test
set dir1=C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example
:Start
cls
echo 1. test loop
echo 2. Quit
set /p choice=I choose (1,2):
if %choice%==1 goto test
if %choice%==2 exit
:test
cls
echo running loop test
FOR %%n in (%dir1% *.txt) DO echo %dir1%\%%n
echo Done
pause
What I would like outputted is:
running loop test
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 1.txt
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 2.txt
Done
But I Get this:
running loop test
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 1.txt
C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\doc 2.txt
Done
The main problem seems to be the space between (%dir1% *.txt)
It could be
@ECHO off
title Test
set "dir1=C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example"
:Start
cls
echo 1. test loop
echo 2. Quit
set /p choice=I choose (1,2):
if %choice%==1 goto test
if %choice%==2 exit
:test
cls
echo running loop test
FOR %%X in ("%dir1%\*.txt") DO echo %%~dpnX
echo Done
pause
The quotes are for avoiding problems with spaces or other special characters in the path.
EDIT:
The %%~dpnX
is for expanding the filename of %%X
tod
=drive(C:)p
=path(\Users\Family\Desktop\Example)n
=filename(test1) (without extension)
f
=full filename(C:\Users\Family\Desktop\Example\test1.txt).
