how to use batch file variable outside inner for loop

Question

I am not familiar with batch script variable scoping. But I ran into scoping problem due to my lack of batch script experience.

for /f %%i in (\'dir /s /b \"%Fol         


        

Answer 1

Again, EnableDelayedExpansion:

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f %%i in ('dir /s /b "%FolderLocation%"') do (
For %%A in ("%%~i") do (
Set File=%%~nxA
echo !File!
)
:: This shows how "%" doesn't work but "!" does
Echo ^%File^%: %File%   -   ^!File^!: !File!
)

And that should work for you. Just remember to use !File! inside a for-loop and %File% outside.
