Write current Directory to a text file

Question

In a batch program I have:

echo Date >c:\users\...\testecmd.txt

Write the current date in a text file.

Assuming I don’t know where is the directory in which the auto executable is, how do I get it to call the Current directory, in place of "c: users... testecmd.txt" and write this same directory instead of Date ?

echo "c:\Diretorio\atual\" >c:\diretorio\atual\testecmd.txt

Answer 1

%CD% is the environment variable that contains the current directory. And if you want to access a file in the current directory, you can use the .:

echo %CD% > .\testecmd.txt

The archive testecmd.txt will be created in the current directory, and its contents will be the full name of the current directory of the command line.

• You don’t even have to give the echo in the variable %cd% to get the current directory/folder, use the cd.

Has command to do this direct, use the command cd (Check Directory), bat/cmd or command line, direct.

CD>.\testcmd.txt

Obs.:

• [commando: cd ] [operator: & ] [commenting: :: ]

             cd            &                :: exibir o caminho da pasta/diretório atual na tela

CD>.\testcmd.txt

cd & :: exibir o caminho da pasta/diretório atual na tela
G:\SO_pt-BR\Q113666

cd>.\testcmd.txt & :: redireciona a saída para o arquivo testcmd.txt

cd | clip & :: copia/move a saída do comando cd para o seu clipboard (Crtl+C)
