What do you mean by "copy a file name"?

[Mental]

i cant speak english very well
copy file name in windows :



i copied name of text file ( connection copied )
now how can i do it in cmd ?

[Dias de verano]

Why don't you do it in Windows? Cmd prompt does not have a clipboard.

Is this right?

In a folder you have 1 file only. if it is called sample.txt you want to create a folder there called sample?

yes that is why I asked. They are related. So I need to know the whole problem. When asking for help in forums, it is a bad idea to be mysterious.

One way -    Use a free command line utility program.

See:

particularly:

Check out    VARSET .

It says it works under WinNt and Win2000.    I bet it works under XP too.
You'd have to try it to be sure.

It is simple to use.   Read the docs with it.

With it, you can set an environment variable that is equal to a filename.
Next, you could then use the   MD command along with that environment variable to create your new directory.
I tried it under Win98SE.    Works fine.

I hope this helps.

Side note:

If ever you want to copy to/from the clipboard from the command line -  there is a free utility that will do it.

See:

and/or

I've tried Cliptext under '98 only.

I think what Mental wants is to get a batch file to load a filename into a variable, strip off the extension, and use what is left as the name of a folder which is to be created. This is easily done using batch commands.


e.g.

fmake "sample.txt"

fmake.bat

set name=%~dpn1
mkdir "%name%"

makes dir called "sample"
