Parse path into drive/directory/file

[Bitmap321]

I have a string %str%=c:\parentdir\childdir\filename.ext
I wont know in advance the length of parentdir,childdir, or filename nor will i know the drive letter

How can i break this out into
c:
c:\parentdir
c:\parentdir\childdir
filename.ext

Thanks,

Hi jpeg,

look at the help of FOR (for /?), there is the substitution explained.

Code: Select all

setlocal 

set str=c:\parentdir\childdir\filename.ext 

call :split %str%
goto :eof

:split
echo drive=%~d1 path=%~p1 name=%~n1 ext=%~x1
goto :eof

Results to

Code: Select all

drive=c: path=\parentdir\childdir\ name=filename ext=.ext
