I mean to obtain the last part of a full directory path, when it comes from cd, it is used with for, and set all in one line.
When coming from cd, the path is something like C:\a\b\c\d\.
The trailing backslash complicates things.
This is ok for one line in the case of a directory with no trailing backslash (i.e., it cannot come from cd).
This is ok for the case of trailing backslash, but not for one line.
The output of
> FOR %%a IN (`cd`) DO echo %%~pa
is \a\b\c\d\
and the output of
> FOR %%a IN (`cd`) DO echo %%~na
is `cd` (I expected an empty string here).
I guess I should combine this with a syntax like set MYDIR1=%MYDIR:~0,-1% and multiple commands in one line like command1 && command 2.
The target one liner would be
something like
FOR %%a IN (`cd`) DO set MYDIR1=%MYDIR:~0,-1% && echo %%~nMYDIR1
and perhaps using tokens and/or delims but I couldn't make it work.
To retrieve the information for the current folder
for %%a in (".") do echo %%~nxa
To retrieve the information using a variable with or without an ending backslash
for %%a in ("%cd%\.") do echo %%~nxa
But note that, in both cases, you don't have a name+extension available for a drive's root folder.
