dp0 - return the path from where script executed But  important to know also below one   CD  - return the current path in runtime  for example if you get into other folders using  quot cd folder1 quot   and then  quot cd folder2 quot   it will return the full path until folder2 and not the original path where script located

You can use   dp0  d means the drive only  p means the path only  0 is the argument for the full filename of the batch file   For example if the file path was C  Users Oliver Desktop example bat then the argument would equal C  Users Oliver Desktop   also you can use the command set cpath   dp0  amp  amp  set cpath  cpath  0 -1  and use the  cpath  variable to remove the trailing slash

dp0 may be a relative path  To convert it to a full path  try something like this   pushd   dp0 set script dir  CD  popd

User · Answer

dp0 will be the directory  Here s some documentation on all of the path modifiers  Fun stuff  -   To remove the final backslash  you can use the  n m substring syntax  like so   SET mypath   dp0 echo  mypath  0 -1    I don t believe there s a way to combine the  0 syntax with the   n m syntax  unfortunately
