Resolve absolute path from relative path and/or file name

Question

Is there a way in a Windows batch script to return an absolute path from a value containing a filename and/or relative path?

Given:

Answer 1

Small improvement to BrainSlugs83's excellent solution. Generalized to allow naming the output environment variable in the call.

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Example input value.
set RelativePath=doc\build

rem Resolve path.
call :ResolvePath AbsolutePath %RelativePath%

rem Output result.
echo %AbsolutePath%

rem End.
exit /b

rem === Functions ===

rem Resolve path to absolute.
rem Param 1: Name of output variable.
rem Param 2: Path to resolve.
rem Return: Resolved absolute path.
:ResolvePath
    set %1=%~dpfn2
    exit /b

If run from C:\project output is:

C:\project\doc\build
