Retrieving the current directory in batch

[Jacques25]

I wanted to make sure that the script is calling command or program at correct path so i want to search a file in the current directory from which the batch is running. So i need help from you all guys to retrieve the current directory name from a batch file. Please help.

Here's the code to get hold of the current directory:

for /f %%i "delims=" in ('cd') do set cwd=%%i

This is infact useful in manipulation of file and folder is done at valid destination when using relative path.The current dir is stored in the variable %CD%.Using the command ECHO %CD% will show you what it is.

The %CURRENTDIR% variable to store the current working directory, which can be used in batch commands. In case you want to only display current working directory, than use this command; Echo %CD%. You can also use Set CURRENTDIR=%CD% to save and store the current directory where a file is located.
