Get filename in batch for loop

or Just %~F will give you the full path and full file name.

For example, if you want to register all *.ax files in the current directory....

FOR /R C:. %F in (*.ax) do regsvr32 "%~F"

This works quite nicely in Win7 (64bit) :-)

The answer by @AKX works on the command line, but not within a batch file. Within a batch file, you need an extra %, like this:

@echo off
for /R TutorialSteps %%F in (*.py) do echo %%~nF

When Command Extensions are enabled (Windows XP and newer, roughly), you can use the syntax %~nF (where F is the variable and ~n is the request for its name) to only get the filename.

FOR /R C:\Directory %F in (*.*) do echo %~nF

should echo only the filenames.
