Opening a folder that starts with some charaters

[rtown]

Hello,
I need some help finishing this up. Its going to be a shortcut to opening a specific folder in a very large directory structure.

An example folder location would be \\SERVER923\data\10900-10999\10956-somename-anothername
I want the user to open the batch file, enter 5 digits, hit enter and have it open explorer to that folder that starts with those 5 digits
I have this complete except for the "-somename-anothername" part. Basically I dont care what this part of the folder name is, all I care about is the 5 digit number. I have tried to add a wildcard character after the 5 digits as seen below but it does not work... any assistance would be helpful!

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /p UserInput=Enter a number: 
set /a Test=UserInput
if !Test! EQU 0 (
  if !UserInput! EQU 0 (
    echo !UserInput!
  ) else (
    echo Not a number
  )
) else (
  echo !UserInput!
  set start=!UserInput:~0,3!
  set end=!UserInput:~0,3!
  
  %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "\\SERVER923\data\!start!00-!end!99\!UserInput!-*"
)

Code: Select all

for /D %%a in ("\\SERVER923\data\!start!00-!end!99\!UserInput!-*") do (
   %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "%%~a"
)

Code: Select all

for /D %%a in ("\\SERVER923\data\!start!00-!end!99\!UserInput!-*") do (
   %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "%%~a"
)

This doesn't seem to work. In tried placing this in the else section and outside it... am I missing something?

Wooops. Nevermind... It works!! Thanks so much Aacini!
