split path and take last folder name in batch scri

Question

I want to split the string (having a path) with \and take last folder name in a variable. Please help.

e.g
mypath=D:\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3\

I want FOLDER3 in a variable.

I tried with the command below which is working if the the last character is not \ :

for %f in (C:\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3) do set myfolder=%~nxf

It is not working if the last character is \

Also it is not working if variable is used like : for %f in (%mypath%) do set myfolder=%~nxf

Answer 1

When your current folder contains spaces then try this:

@echo off
for %%f in ("%CD%") do set LastPartOfFolder=%%~nxf

echo %LastPartOfFolder%

Answer 2

@echo off

set MYDIR=C:\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3\
set MYDIR1=%MYDIR:~0,-1%

for %%f in (%MYDIR1%) do set myfolder=%%~nxf
echo %myfolder%

outputs

FOLDER3

Answer 3

try:

for %f in (C:\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3\.) do set myfolder=%~nxf

works also:

for %f in (C:\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3.) do set myfolder=%~nxf
