Batch Scripting: Load One Directory Down Into Variable

Question

What I need to do is, without knowing the name of the directory, I need to load it into a variable so I can use it later in my script.

There should only be one directory. Something like:

    \\[server]\[directory]\**[profile]**

Without knowing the name, I need to load "Profile" into a .bat variable.

Thanks in advance!

This will list everything in \\SERVER\\PATH, sorting such the directories are last (in case there are files), and sets 'name' to each: if there is only one directory, it will be the value you need

@echo off
for /f %%i in ('dir /o-g /b \\SERVER\PATH') do set name=%%i
echo result = %name%
