I have DE, TX, NC folders in C:\Program Files\RMS\RiskLink\Data\USData\Flood\HiresTest

SET SOURCEFLOODPATH=C:\Program Files\RMS\RiskLink\Data\USData\Flood\HiresTest
FOR /D %%a in ("%SOURCEFLOODPATH%\*.*") DO (
SET FOLDERNAME=%%a
SET FOLDERNAME

SET TMPSTATE=%FOLDERNAME:~-2%
SET TMPSTATE
)

using the the above code i have expected the TMPSTATE to be DE, TX and NC. But it is always showing ~-2. Please help me to get the expected result
