✅❓ Button/em_command parameter like [P] from MRT

Often, when working with command utilities, it's necessary to get the name of the parent folder without a path.
We have to reinvent the wheel in bat/wsh codes. It's high time to change that.
ghisler(Author), please finally simplify the buttons for codes with this parameter.
Maybe like [d], [t], [G] too. But with less priority.

As a demonstration, I want to give an example of kludge in a .bat:
Code: Select all
@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "d=%~dp0"&for %%i in ("!d!..\") do set "d=!d:%%~pi=!"
echo %d:~2,-1%
pause>nul
It's too bad that we have to resort to such dirty solutions (workarounds) instead of immediately getting the result without scripts.
It's strange that no one supported...

Do you mean %P but only the last part?
If yes, I would suggest the following implementation:
%B branch name: parent
%B0 branch name: same as %B
%B1 branch name: grandparent
%B2 branch name: two levels up, etc.
%Bt parent of target dir (no branch)
%Bt1 grandparent of target dir (no branch)
%Bt2 target dir, two levels up (no branch), etc.
%B-, %B-1, %B-2 etc.: do not use dirs from branch view, just from displayed path.
Example for the difference:
Source path: c:\dir1\dir2
File name: branch1\branch2\file.ext
Results:
| %B | branch2 |
| %B0 | branch2 |
| %B1 | branch1 |
| %B2 | dir2 |
| %B- | dir2 |
| %B-0 | dir2 |
| %B-1 | dir1 |
| %B-2 | (empty string) |

A little less 'kludgy':
Code: Select all
@echo off & setlocal
for %%X in (%~dp0.) do echo "%%~nxX"
pause
BTW: There is a bug in your script. Try it in C:\folder : it will strip the last character of teh foldername.

Yes. [P] in MRT just about that.

I would only be glad of such a variety!

In this case, no. %~dp0 always has a \ at the end and is needed to implement [P].
But in your version, there are definitely not enough quotation marks — "%~dp0.", as in names there can be
=;,) and
space.

Yeah, quotes ... I forget them all the time (this was untested; should have mentioned that. But if you can create your version, you will have no problem fixing that
).

Forgot this:
Code: Select all
T:\Endwith_d>type parent.cmd
@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "d=%~dp0"&for %%i in ("!d!..\") do set "d=!d:%%~pi=!"
echo %d:~2,-1%
pause>nul
T:\Endwith_d>parent.cmd
Endwith_

This topic isn't about bat-codes, much less calling them from the console.

What is the difference between Bt and B- ?
Bt would be the target directory (from the other panel). B- would be the source directory, ignoring any branch view subdirectory of the file under the cursor.
I have implemented it now and it will be in beta 7.

t = target, - = minus. Understood. Thanks.

Famously! Super!
I checked, everything is fine. Finally! Thanks a lot!
Eng. TOTALCMD.CHM doesn't have a description yet.

Can you add B+ ?
Source path: c:\dir1\dir2
| %B+ | C: |
| %B+0 | C: |
| %B+1 | dir1 |
| %B+2 | dir2 |
| %B+3 | (empty string) |

I can add it, but should it really add the drive letter? Currently %B cuts the drive letter (or server name for UNC paths).

The drive letter is needed first, since sometimes you need to do something with the disk of the current directory.
Examples:
| wmic volume where DriveLetter='D:' set Label="Data Label" |
| PortableWinCDEmu.exe /unmount D: |
| OSFMount.exe -d -m D: |
| HD_Speed.exe /r /d D: |
| BadNTFS.exe /l D: |
| etc. |
