Expands %1 to a fully qualified path.
%~d1
Expands %1 to a drive letter only.
%~p1
Expands %1 to a path only.
%~n1
Expands %1 to a file name only.
%~x1
Expands %1 to a file name extension only.
%~s1
Expands %1 to a fully qualified path that contains short names only.
%~a1
Expands %1 to the file attributes.
%~t1
Expands %1 to the date and time of file.
%~z1
Expands %1 to the size of the file.
%~$PATH:1
Searches the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, and expands %1 to the fully qualified name of the first directory found. If the environment variable name is not defined or the file is not found by the search, then this modifier expands to the empty string.
The following table shows how you can combine modifiers with the batch parameters for compound results:
Batch Parameter with Modifier
Description
%~dp1
Expands %1 to a drive letter and path only.
%~nx1
Expands %1 to a file name and extension only.
%~dp$PATH:1
Searches the directories listed in the PATH environment variable for %1, and then expands to the drive letter and path of the first directory found.
%~ftza1
Expands %1 to display output similar to the dir command.
In the above examples, %1 and PATH can be replaced by other valid values. The %~ syntax is terminated by a valid argument number. The %~ modifiers cannot be used with %*.
Remarks
Using batch parameters:
Batch parameters can contain any information that you can pass to a batch program, including command-line options, file names, the batch parameters %0 through %9, and variables (for example, %baud%).
Using the <label> parameter:
<label>
By using call with the <label> parameter, you create a new batch file context and pass control to the statement after the specified label. The first time the end of the batch file is encountered (that is, after jumping to the label), control returns to the statement after the call statement. The second time the end of the batch file is encountered, the batch script is exited.
<label>
Using pipes and redirection symbols:
Do not use pipes (|) or redirection symbols (< or >) with call.
(|)
<
>
Making a recursive call
You can create a batch program that calls itself. However, you must provide an exit condition. Otherwise, the parent and child batch programs can loop endlessly.
Working with command extensions
If command extensions are enabled, call accepts <label> as the target of the call. The correct syntax is call :<label> <arguments>.
<label>
call :<label> <arguments>
Examples
To run the checknew.bat program from another batch program, type the following command in the parent batch program:
call checknew
If the parent batch program accepts two batch parameters and you want it to pass those parameters to checknew.bat, type the following command in the parent batch program:
call checknew %1 %2
cd
Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Displays the name of the current directory or changes the current directory. If used with only a drive letter (for example, cd C:), cd displays the names of the current directory in the specified drive. If used without parameters, cd displays the current drive and directory.
cd C:
Note
This command is the same as the chdir command.
Syntax
cd [/d] [<drive>:][<path>]
cd [..]
chdir [/d] [<drive>:][<path>]
chdir [..]
