This is my code:

code:

---

@echo off
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b') DO (
    [my actions, no problem here]
)

---

It does my actions for each file in the bat file's folder.
The problem is, one of the arguments I need is the file's name without the extension. For example:
%%G is "My text file.txt" and I need to use the command -set name="My text file" .
So I changed -set name="%%G" to -set name="%%G:~0,-4%", which should ignore the last 4 characters (dot + extension), but it doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

code:

---

FOR /f "delims=" %%G IN ('dir /b') DO (
echo %%~nG
echo MY NAME IS SONICSAM AND I ROCK
echo %%~nG >> poop.txt
)

---

Notice the ~n, it removes the file extenson

There should be no need to set it to something else with this code, and I am not even sure setting it inside ()'s will even work...but the %%~n will allow you to do whatever you wanted with the original code.
