Find USB Drive letter

Question

I need to get the drive letter of the usb pen drive.the command CHDIR >drive.txt gives me the drive letter L:.How do I read/get this info \"L:\" without quotes into a variab

Answer 1

Since cd will output something like:

c:\documents and settings\pax

you need to just grab the first field using "\" as the delimiter as follows:

for /f "delims=\" %d in ('cd') do set curdrv=%d

This will set the environment variable curdrv to c: for the aforementioned output.

Don't forget to use the double-% (%%d) variant if running inside a cmd file.
