Why do I get "The system cannot find the path specified." ?

[Haxs4Life]

I am a noob an beginner at DOS coding so please don't complain or make fun of my bad a sloppy/messy code :/ but could anyone tell me why im getting this? My file download is below from filedropper.com. But baisicly i want the program to be looking into different folders throughout the program..but so far i've only been able to make it look within the folder its allready in, i cant get it to back up and look in different folders :/
Example code:

Code: Select all

set "Files=Files\"
set "Data=Files\Data"
set "Accounts=Files\Accounts"
set "CH=Chapters\" (This is in the Main folder with the Files folder)

:Data
cd "%Data%"
(Do some actions within this folder)

:Account Creation
cd "%Files%"
md "Accounts"

Problem: It would create the "Accounts" folder in the "Files\Data" directory path instead of the "Files" folder i want it in. Anyone know how to fix this or another way i can do this that will work how i want it to?

I think you are searching for:

Code: Select all

set "Files=Files\"
set "Data=Files\Data"
set "Accounts=Files\Accounts"
set "CH=Chapters\" (This is in the Main folder with the Files folder)

:Data
pushd "%Data%"
(Do some actions within this folder)
popd

:Account Creation
md "%Files%\Accounts"

You haven't used the set command correctly to set the variables before you can use them.

This should do what you have indicated that you need to do.

Code: Select all

set "Data=d:\Chapters\Files\Data"
set "Accounts=d:\Chapters\Files\Accounts"
md "%data%" 2>nul
md "%Accounts%" 2>nul

:Data
pushd "%Data%"
(Do some actions within this folder)
popd
:Account Creation
pushd "%Accounts%"
(Do some actions within this folder)
popd

The cd /d command is also a way to change directory.

The exact answer to a problem depends on the exact question...

I doubled-checked this and quotes are allowed like this. My mistake.
