Hi,
My problem is as follows.

I have 2 directories software_test_R1.1 and software_test_R1.2 contained with a parent directory called test

My code is as follows

@echo off
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%X in ('dir /ad /b') do (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=_" %%A IN ("%%X") do (
echo %%A
set version=%%A
echo %version%
)
)

I expected that within second for loop that echo %%A would give me the same value as echo %version%

What i get is

software_test_R1.1
R1.1
R1.2
software_test_R1.2
R1.2
R1.2

Does anyone know the fix for this ?

Thanks

Didn't really look too closely but, try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%X in ('dir /ad /b') do (
for /f "tokens=3 delims=_" %%A IN ("%%X") do (
echo %%A
set version=%%A
echo !version!
)
