===current dir and filename===
# current working dir
echo %CD%
# path of current file
echo %0
# filename without the extension.
echo %~n0
# filename and extension.
echo %~nx0
# or
echo %~n0%~x0

===Title to Dirname===
@echo off
for %%f in (%cd%) do set dirname=%%~nxf
title %dirname%

===Empty c:\tmp===
@echo off
rmdir /q /s c:\tmp
# or rd /q /s c:\tmp
mkdir c:\tmp

===find files / search (and delete) old files===
via forfiles
forfiles /P "C:\tmp\test-del" /S /D -30 /C "cmd /c echo @path"
forfiles /P "C:\tmp\test-del" /S /D -30 /C "cmd /c del @path"
forfiles /P "C:\tmp\test-del" -S -D 90 -m *.log -c "cmd /c del @path"

via robocopy
robocopy "C:\tmp\test-del" "*.log" "C:\cleanup-logs" /mov /minage:90 /NP
del C:\cleanup-logs /q

===ReadOnly Flag / WriteProtection===
Remove
attrib -h -r -s /s /d *.*
Set
attrib +r c:\Users\torben\Desktop\SyncedFolder\*.* /s

R Read-only file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes matching files in the current folder and all subfolders.
/D Processes folders as well.

===Set Current Working Dir to Script Location ===
This is important if the script is started using a taskmanager etc.
e:
cd %~dp0

===Set Window Title===
TITLE My Window Title
or when opening via START from another Batch file
START "My Window Title" 2.cmd

===Get FolderName===
This when excecuted in c:\sub\folder it returns "folder"
for %%* in (%CD%) do set CurrDirName=%%~nx*
echo %CurrDirName%

===List of files to Textfile===
dir *.* /b > ..\liste.txt

===Pipe output to textfile===
From [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/110930/redirecting-error-messages-from-command-prompt-stderr-stdout] You can print the errors and standard output to a single file by using the "&1" command to redirect the output for STDERR to STDOUT and then sending the output from STDOUT to a file:
some_command > output.log 2>&1
some_command 1> output.log 2> error.log

===exit if command fails with error===
some_command1
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
some_command2
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%

===Net use for network drive mounting===
net use Y: \\server\path /user:myuser

net use Y: /delete

===Zip */*.ini===
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set "OUT=inis.zip"
REM Use PowerShell to expand glob pattern and pipe relative paths to tar with --files-from=-
powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-ChildItem -Path '*\*.ini' -File | ForEach-Object { $_.FullName.Substring((Get-Location).Path.Length + 1) } | tar -c -a -f '%OUT%' --files-from=-"

===Loops===
====if====
check if mounting (net use) was successful
net use q: \\server\share
q:
cd \
IF NOT EXIST dir1\dir2 (
echo mouting of share failed
pause
c:
net use q: /delete
EXIT /B 1
)

====for====
loop over values
for %%L in (cn, de, en, es, fr, ko, sk, vn) do (
echo %%L
)

loop over all dirs
FOR /D %%D in ("*") DO (
echo %%D
)
double loop over all dirs
FOR /D %%P in ("*") DO (
echo parent = %%P
FOR /D %%C in ("%%P\*") DO (
echo child = %%C
)
)

loop over files
for %%F in (*.pdf) do (
echo %%F
copy %%F %%~nF.old
)

====for and grep.exe====
using UnixUtils grep.exe one can easily extract exceptions from logs:
for %%F in (*.log) do (
grep -B3 -A3 "exception" %%F > %%~nF-error.txt
)

===Variables===
:: no spaces around '='!!!
set xyz=myfile.bat
set /p xyz=Variable Eingeben:
set /p xyz= < TMP.dat
echo %xyz%

====Substrings====
Substring via ":~"
set year=%date:~-4,4
Path, filename and extension of file stored in variable %%F
set path=%%~pF
set name=%%~nF
set ext=%%~cF

====Set Variable to Program Output====
for /f "delims=" %%a in (' powershell -c "$lastmonth = (Get-Date).addMonths(-3); $lastmonth.tostring(\"yyyy-MM\")" ') do set "MONTH=%%a"
echo %MONTH%

===Date & Time ===
====DateString====
set DATESTR=%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%_%time:~0,2%:%time:~3,2%:%time:~6,2%
or
set DATESTR=%date:~-2,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-10,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
:: replace ' ' in small hours with 0
set DATESTR=%DATESTR: =0%
= 240419_085724
zip.exe -9 %DATESTR%.zip *.bat
for better example of zipping see [[Backup#Zip_Folder|zip folder in Backup section]]

====DayOfWeek====
from [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25537313/issue-with-getting-batch-script-to-print-keeps-given-a-error-about-set-was-unexp here]
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
SET /a count=0
FOR /F "skip=1" %%D IN ('wmic path win32_localtime get dayofweek') DO (
if "!count!" GTR "0" GOTO next
set dow=%%D
SET /a count+=1
)
:next
echo %dow%

====Yesterday====
from [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2954359/dos-batch-programming-howto-get-and-display-yesterday-date here]
set befehl="PowerShell $date = Get-Date; $date=$date.AddDays(-1); $date.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')"
for /f %%i in ('%befehl%') do set yesterday=%%i

===Copy all files from subfolders to one folder ===
from [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11720681/windows-batch-copy-files-from-subfolders-to-one-folder here]
set source=c:\source
set target=c:\target
cd %source%

====FTP-Upload====
file "ftp.bat"
@echo off
ftp "-s:FtpScript"
pause
cls

file "FtpScript"
open www.xyz.de
[User]
[Password]
BINARY
put [File]
quit

===UnixUtils===
Using [https://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/ UnixUtils] for Windows wget, grep, etc are usable to scripts in Windows. In the UnixUtils.zip the .exe files are located in foltder usr/local/wbin/ . Examples:
head.exe -c 1000 mylog.log > outHead1000Bytes.log
head.exe -n 1000 mylog.log > outHead1000Lines.log
tail.exe -c 1000 mylog.log > outTail1000Bytes.log
tail.exe -n 1000 mylog.log > outTail1000Lines.log
grep.exe -i -B3 -A1 "ERROR" mylog.log > outGrepErrors.log

====Curl to check if page online====
@echo off
set URL1=https://my.server.com
:loop
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('curl -o nul -I -s -w "%%{http_code}" "%URL%"') do set HTTP_STATUS=%%i
echo Status: %HTTP_STATUS% at %date% %time%
timeout /t 5
goto loop

===TOP CPU RAM Disk I/O===
# CPU + RAM
top
# I/O
sudo iotop -o -d 2 -k

===Run as other user===
runas /user:MYDOMAIN\myuser /savecred "cmd /K cd c:\mydir && my_programm.exe"
