FOR %B IN (*.*) echo "%B"
Is there any way to edit the %B variable? I know the basic ones like "%~nB" which will take just the name, or "%~pB" which will give the path only, but say I want to remove the first character? I know with Environment Variables I can do like the following to remove just the first character, is there something like this for the "%B" variable?: set MYVAR=Hello.txt echo %MYVAR:~1% I'm using "cmd.exe" in Windows XP SP3. Thanks |

Thanks You have to assign its current value to an env. variable before removing the first character: set MyVar=%b echo %MyVar:~1% |
