How to iterate through directory and concatenate names of folders into string
Similar to this question, but with folder names instead of with file names. The current code I have for concatenating files is
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set colorFileNames=
for %%f in (%CD%\automation\*) do (
set _file=%%~nf
if [!colorFileNames!]==[] (
set colorFileNames=!_file!
) else (
set colorFileNames=!colorFileNames!, !_file!
)
)
which outputs something like fileName1, fileName2, ..., fileNameN
but it obviously only works with files. How would I modify it to use folder names instead of file names?
Solution 1:
I changed a few things to make it work:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set graphicsSets=
for /D %%f in (%CD%\automation\*) do (
set _folder=%%~nf
if [!graphicsSets!]==[] (
set graphicsSets=!_folder!
) else (
set graphicsSets=!graphicsSets!, !_folder!
)
)
The /D tells the loop to go over directories instead of files, and I replaced what was in the () with just the path to the folder I was looping in. Everything else is the same, so not too difficult of a modification.
