Can a Windows batch file determine its own window name?

Yes, a Windows batch file can determine its own window name by using the %~n0
parameter expansion. The %0
represents the full path and filename of the batch file, and %~n0
extracts only the filename portion (without extension).
Here's an example of how you can retrieve the window name within a batch file:
batch@echo off
REM Get the window name
set "windowName=%~n0"
REM Print the window name
echo Window Name: %windowName%
In the example above, the %~n0
expands to the window name and is assigned to the windowName
variable. You can then use the variable %windowName%
to access the window name within the batch file.
Note that the window name will typically be the same as the batch file's filename (without extension). However, keep in mind that the window name can be changed programmatically or by the user, so it may not always reflect the batch file's filename.
