Hello, I'm trying to write some dos batch script for manipulating some paths. I haven't done this in years so I might be rusty. The path is relative and given from the command line as argument @echo off set wpath=%1 @echo.%wpath% set newpath=%wpath:~0,-4% @echo.%newpath% The thing I'm trying to accomplish is to get rid of the extension script.bat whatever/test.txt whatever/test.txt whatever/test But I'm getting script.bat whatever/test.txt whatever/test.txt <emptyline> I'm using dosemu-1.4.0.1 and this [1] as a reference.
