    <p>I need help returning the file name of a file located in a folder.</p> <p>I have read other questions asked a few times and the answer seems to be:</p> <pre><code>for /d %F in (*.*) do echo %~nxF </code></pre> <p>Although this seems to work for everyone else, when I run this within a batch file it has an exception and states that '~nxF' is not expected at this time.</p> <p>What I am trying to do is create a batch file that will read the icon file name, then enter the specific information into <code>desktop.ini</code> and finally create that file with the respective rights or attributes.</p> <pre><code>@echo off set NAME=%~dp0 for %%* in (.) do set NAME=%%~n* set FOLDERICO=%NAME% set ICONSIZES=16 24 32 48 64 128 256 set FOLDERINI=Desktop.ini attrib +s "%CD%" if exist %FOLDERINI% attrib -s -h %FOLDERINI% echo [.ShellClassInfo] &gt; %FOLDERINI% echo IconResource=\[Video]\[HD Films]\%FOLDERICO%\Icon\%FOLDERICO%.ico,0 &gt;&gt; %FOLDERINI% if not "%2"=="" ( echo FolderType=%2 &gt;&gt; %FOLDERINI% ) attrib -a +s +h %FOLDERINI% </code></pre> <p>I think the code could be improved somehow to run it from a root directory as opposed to the specific folder.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Updated my file so it now looks like this:</p> <pre><code>@ECHO OFF attrib +s "%CD%" set ICODIR=%CD%\Icon\ for %%F in ("%ICODIR%"*.ico) do set ICO=%%~nxF echo %ICO% set ICOINI=Desktop.ini if exist %ICOINI% attrib -s -h %ICOINI% echo [.ShellClassInfo] &gt; %ICOINI% echo IconResource=%ICODIR:~2%%ICO%,0 &gt;&gt; %ICOINI% if not "%2"=="" ( echo FolderType=%2 &gt;&gt; %ICOINI% ) attrib -a +s +h %ICOINI% Pause </code></pre> <p>Which I need to put into a for loop scanning each subdirectory of the root.</p>

    1. COWhen putting the `for` command in a batch file you must use double percent `%%` signs rather than just single percent signs `%`. Also, the `/d` is for directories only. `for %%F in (*.*) do echo %%~nxF` See [For /?](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490909.aspx)

    2. COThank you, I think this is the answer I needed. I try to refer to texts and manuals when I can but they confuse me a lot more than they help most often.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
