Given this batch script - how do I isolate filename and extension, like in the output given:
@echo off
REM usage split.bat <filename>
set input_file="%1"
echo input file name is <filename> and extension is <extension>
c:\split.bat testfile.txt
input filename is testfile and extension is txt
That is - what's the correct syntax for <filename> and <extension> in this code?
%1?Use the following batch file (split.bat):
@echo off
setlocal
REM usage split.bat <filename>
set _filename=%~n1
set _extension=%~x1
echo input file name is ^<%_filename%^> and extension is ^<%_extension%^>
endlocal
Notes:
%~n1 - Expand %1 to a file Name without file extension.
%~x1 - Expand %1 to a file eXtension only.
< and > are special characters (redirection) and must be escaped using ^.
Example usage:
> split testfile.txt
input file name is <testfile> and extension is <.txt>
