Hello,
my BAT file test.bat contains:

set p1=%1
echo %p1%
pause

and I get:

"C:\Documents and Settings\sam\Bureau\folderA"

if I drag the folder "folderA" located on the desktop (=Bureau in French) and drop it on the test.bat file.

My goal is to get only folderA, without the full path and without the double quotes.

Anyone could help me, please? Thank you.

I mean, at least without the full path.
