windows - Get filename in batch for loop

Question

I have the following For loop in a batch file:

for /R c:estsrc %%i IN (*.*) DO (
MOVE %%i C:estdestination
ECHO %%i
exit
)

The result of the ECHO outputs the entire file path Ex: C:FoldernameFilename I need to ECHO out only the Filename.Is there a specific command which would give me the filename ? Thanks !

Answer 1

When Command Extensions are enabled (Windows XP and newer, roughly), you can use the syntax %~nF (where F is the variable and ~n is the request for its name) to only get the filename.

FOR /R C:Directory %F in (*.*) do echo %~nF

should echo only the filenames.
