Extracting the current command line, extracting current path

[derickmoore]

I'm sure there must be some easy way to extract my current path!

But, I started at the beginning of the help index and went to the end without any recognizable entry I could use.

I merely want to extract the current path so I can use it in a batch file.

as:

set mycurrentpath=PullPath
subst z: %mycurrentpath%

or something like that!

Can someone point me to the command that will extract the current path?

If by "current path" you mean your current working directory, then take a look at the internal variables %_cwd, %_cwds, %_cwp, and %_cwps.

You have many options: _CWD, _CWDS, _CWP, _CWPS, @CWD, and @CWDS.

That was exactly what I needed! Thank you!
