how populate array folder paths dynamically.
use following batch file (makefolderarray.cmd):
@echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion rem length of %cd% (the current directory) call :strlen cd _length set /a _index=1 /d /r %%a in (*) ( set _name=%%a rem remove drive root current directory, rem _length chars call set _name=!!_name:~%_length%!! rem replace \ / set _name=!_name:\=/! set folder[0!_index!]=!_name! set /a _index+=1 ) set /a _index-=1 /l %%i in (1,1,%_index%) ( echo folder[0%%i]=!folder[0%%i]! ) endlocal goto :eof :strlen strvar [rtnvar] setlocal disabledelayedexpansion set len=0 if defined %~1 /f "delims=:" %%n in ( '"(cmd /v:on /c echo(!%~1!&echo()|findstr /o ^^"' ) set /a "len=%%n-3" endlocal & if "%~2" neq "" (set %~2=%len%) else echo %len% exit /b example:
f:\test>makefolderarray folder[01]=/a folder[02]=/a/b folder[03]=/a/c folder[04]=/a/c/d credits:
