cd to variable not working from batch

Please find below the batch script :-

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a count = 0
for /D %%i in (*) do (


        set /a count += 1
        echo !count! %%i
        cd \d %%i 
        echo "inside" %cd% " to execute some command"
        echo "some command"
        echo "now again going one directory back"
        cd ..

)
endlocal

execution of

cd \d %%i

gives below error :-

The system cannot find the path specified.

i want to go inside the directory that %%i represents, perform some command there, then want to go one directory back.

Solution

  • Use cd /d not cd \d

    cd will assume the directory you want to change to is \d %%i
