Varibles in Batch files

8 New Member
Okay, so I know how to make a variable:
set bla = blabla
but then i want to set it as a directory of "cd"

so then if the directory was C:\WINDOWS,
i want bla to = cd
so something like
set bla = cd
but that doesn't work. any help?
thanks

hi man
your question is not clear

you mean to make a variable to carry the current directory path ??

if yes you can directly use the pre-defined variable %CD%
like this:
@echo off
echo the current directory is %CD%
pause
exit
