pushd not working in a batch file with delayed expansion

If you're experiencing issues with pushd not working in a batch file with delayed expansion enabled, it might be due to the way delayed expansion affects the handling of special characters like ! in path names.

To work around this issue, you can temporarily disable delayed expansion before using pushd, and then re-enable it afterward. Here's an example:

batchCopy code
@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion



rem Disable delayed expansion

setlocal disabledelayedexpansion



rem Save the current directory

set "currentDir=%CD%"



rem Enable delayed expansion

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion



rem Use pushd with the desired directory

pushd "C:\Path\To\Directory"



rem Your commands in the desired directory go here



rem Return to the original directory

popd



rem Disable delayed expansion

endlocal



rem Restore the original directory

cd "%currentDir%"



rem Re-enable delayed expansion

endlocal

In this script, delayed expansion is temporarily disabled and re-enabled using setlocal and endlocal commands. The current directory is saved before entering the desired directory with pushd, and then restored afterward using cd.
