Use Relative Paths in Your Batch Files

If you haven't come across this already, this could be handy in the future. Simply use the special variable "%~dp0" without the quotes to refer to the current path where the batch file is located. This is different from using "." or "%CD%", which refers to your current path, i.e. the location that you are calling the batch file from.

For example, say you have this batch file in C:\TEMP\cur.bat

@echo off

echo Batch file location: %~dp0
echo Your current path: %CD%

If your prompt is currently sitting at C:\, and run the batch file with the command "TEMP\cur.bat", the output would look like this:

Batch file location: C:\Temp\
Your current path: C:\
