Get directory containing the currently executed batch script

Solution 1:

%~p0

Will return the path only.

%~dp0

Will return the drive+path.

More info on the subject can be found on Microsoft's site.

Information about this syntax can also be found in the help for the for command by executing for /? on a Windows OS.

Solution 2:

The current directory is held in %CD%

Solution 3:

Some expressions that effect the filename:

~f0 will give the fully qualified file name.
~dpnx0 will give the same as ~f0, but this shows you that you can break it down into parts: d=drive p=path n=name x=extension
