So basically you want the name of the current directory into a variable, which that script then can use to do whatever. I am fan of awk/sed/grep, and I would propose that but you need a copy of those files, and there are no official versions of them (not from Microsoft I mean). You then could use these statements : C:\Temp>cd | awk " { print \"set folder=\"$0 } " > folder.cmd C:\Temp>call folder C:\Temp>set folder=C:\Temp C:\Temp>echo %folder% C:\Temp But there are standard MS tools that do the same, don't know how though. I can help you with a copy of these executables, they are legal and free and have no viruses, I promise.

Current directory: ECHO %CD%
