将刚更改的目录保存到文件

Question

How could you save the freshly changed directory to a file? I thought this would work, but it executes the commands in the same directory:

cd desired_dir && echo foo && echo %CD% > path.txt

Is there an operator like "do this. after finishing, do this with the new parameters" in cmd?

I use this command to get the directory for a web-based commandline (using php). I read the current path from a file, execute some code and save the new path into a file.

The echo %CD% will "lock in" the %CD% value that exists at the time the command is parsed. If you want the "real time" directory, use this:

cd desired_dir && echo foo && cd > path.txt
