Question
I'm trying to search my code base for all jscript directories and then get a list of relative files within those directories using the following batch script...
@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S jscripts') DO (
CD %%G
CD dev
SET "currentDir=!cd!"
IF NOT "!currentDir:~-1!"=="\" SET "currentDir=!currentDir!\"
FOR /r %%F IN (*.js) DO (
SET "relativePath=%%F"
SET "relativePath=!relativePath:%currentDir%=!"
ECHO !relativePath!
)
)
It all works as expected until it gets to...
SET "relativePath=!relativePath:%currentDir%=!"
I can figure out what format I need to write this in to turn...
c:\dir\jscript\dev\file.js
into...
file.js
Please help!
Additional information
The directory setup is as follows
dir
jscripts
dev
file.js
file2.js
live
file.js
file2.js
dir2
jscripts
dev
file.js
file2.js
live
file.js
file2.js
I want find all jscripts directories, CD into them, get a list of all JS files relative to the dev directory

OTHER TIPS
To extract the file name and extension from a variable containing a full path use %~nx0
as in
set G=c:\dir\jscript\file.js
echo %~nxG
Quoting the following from this answer to a similar question
%~I - expands %I removing any surrounding quotes (") %~fI - expands %I to a fully qualified path name %~dI - expands %I to a drive letter only %~pI - expands %I to a path only %~nI - expands %I to a file name only %~xI - expands %I to a file extension only %~sI - expanded path contains short names only %~aI - expands %I to file attributes of file %~tI - expands %I to date/time of file %~zI - expands %I to size of file The modifiers can be combined to get compound results: %~dpI - expands %I to a drive letter and path only %~nxI - expands %I to a file name and extension only %~fsI - expands %I to a full path name with short names only
This is a copy paste from the "for /?" command on the prompt. Hope it helps.
