Hy

I want to save my daily works from a folder named TODAY to a folder called today's date for example 28.02.2011 created on USB Memory Stick.
The big problem is that the Stick Drive letter is sometime H:, sometime K:, sometime I: >>>>> so I dont know the Stick Drive Letter...:(

I want to write this commands in a bat file but unfortunately I don't know the Stick drive letter... :?:

I appreciate any help.

Because MediaType for USB can be 0, 11 or sometime null , I want to use for filter deviceID<>'A:'

Code: Select all

wmic logicaldisk where (drivetype=2 and deviceID^<^>'A:') get deviceID 
work nice, return>>

DeviceID
P:

but I need only second line ,and the bottom code don't work :? (Of course later I change the ECHO command with SET myUSBdriveIs=%i)

Code: Select all

for /f "skip=1" %i IN ('wmic logicaldisk where ^(drivetype^=2 and deviceID^<^>'A:'^) get deviceID') Do (Echo %i)
return

>was unexpected at this time.

Hmm :? it works for me

Try

Code: Select all

for /f "skip=1" %i IN ('wmic logicaldisk where ^(drivetype^=2 and deviceID^^^<^^^>^'A:^'^) get deviceID') Do (Echo %i)
or

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq skip=1" %i IN (`wmic logicaldisk where ^(drivetype^=2 and deviceID^^^<^^^>'A:'^) get deviceID`) Do (Echo %i)
