%PATH% is already a system variable, so you should call it something else. After that, you can simply delimit the string on
\ and grab the second and third tokens.
Code: Select all
@echo off
set "full_path=M:\11 11\22 22\33 33\44 44\A B C D.txt"
for /f "tokens=2,3 delims=\" %%A in ("%full_path%") do (
set "top_level=%%A"
set "second_level=%%B"
)
echo Top level directory: %top_level%
echo Next level directory: %second_level%
