How can i get the current path in .cmd file?

Question

How can i get the current path in .cmd file?

I see a ton of people saying

oh just use "cd"

To get the value of cd , I have to set it first, which i can't as i am making it portable.

I wonder if there is any built-in variable which tell the current path of .cmd script file

like:

(C:\test.cmd)
echo %cur-path%
>> C:\

I've been searching for the internet for an hour and I can't find a solution others then "cd", "%cd".

A simple "no" will be acceptable

Answer 1

Put this code in your .cmd script file(save as whatevername.cmd ):

echo %~dp0

Now run it in cmd:

directory of .cmd script file\whatevername.cmd

Pretend that the .cmd script file was in C:\\Users\\User\\Documents folder. Then the output will be:

C:\Users\User\Documents\

I hope this is what you were looking for.
