Hi SIW2,

You can see for yourself by using this batch:

Code:

@echo off
echo. &echo.
echo Path of this batch is  %~dp0
echo. &echo.
SET TP=%~dp0
echo The value of the variable TP is %TP%
echo. &echo.
SET TP=%TP:~0,-1%
echo Now the value of the variable TP is %TP%
echo. &echo.
cd /d "%TP%"
pause

That's strange. I just used the logic in a batch file to run system specifications...

Code:

@echo off
systeminfo > %~dp0\My_System_Specs.txt

.. and it worked with the \ included!

Your Getfolder.ini

Code:

ENVI TFOLDERPATH=d:\
BROW TFOLDERPATH,,PLEASE BROWSE TO YOUR WINDOWS 7 INSTALLATION FILES,exe 
EXEC =!CMD.EXE /C ECHO set folderpath="%TFOLDERPATH%">"%CurDir%\setfolderpath.cmd"
ENVI TFOLDERPATH=

Try this:

BROW TFOLDERPATH,*, PLEASE BROWSE TO YOUR WINDOWS 7 INSTALLATION FILES FOLDER

.. and it worked with the \ included!

Yes, it does. It seems to work in that case even though there are two \\.

I checked and the two \\ don't actually appear and don't seem to have an affect because the .txt file gets created successfully with the correct information!

Thanks for replying.

Try it without \ like this:

Code:

@echo off
systeminfo > %~dp0My_System_Specs.txt

I checked and the two \\ don't actually appear

Where are you expecting the \\ to appear?

If you echo it you will see them

echo %~dp0\My_System_Specs.txt



Some things work OK with \\ for example 7zip seems to handle it fine, but not everything does.

I did try systeminfo > %~dp0My_System_Specs.txt [I should have said] and it did also work.

I already said it I know that works. But if you echo it as in my post,

echo %~dp0\My_System_Specs.txt

you will see there are two \\.

\\ is OK for some applications, but not for all.

That is why it is common practice to remove the \ from %~dp0
