Change Directory of Batch File to the batch file's location

You can change the current directory of a batch file to the directory where the batch file itself is located by using the %~dp0 variable. This variable represents the drive and path of the batch file.

Here's how you can do it:

batchCopy code
@echo off

cd /d "%~dp0"

echo Current directory is now: %cd%

Explanation:

• @echo off turns off the command echoing.
• cd /d "%~dp0" changes the current directory (cd) to the path of the batch file (%~dp0). The /d switch allows changing the drive as well if needed.
• echo Current directory is now: %cd% displays the new current directory.

Save this code in a .bat file and run it. The batch file's directory will be changed to where the batch file is located, and the updated current directory will be displayed.
