is it possible?

I want to know what is the command if i want to remove dir when not knowing which drive it located for example:

RD /s /q "C:\Games\Test_game\mods"
MD C:\Games\Test_game\mods\new mods

proplem here is that i wanna compile this batch file to exe and this folder don't always be in drive C
so is there way that there is command that finds that location of "mods" and do the rest of command automaticly

sorry for bad english

Re: is it possible?

Path to Mods is randomly? or the drive letter changes it?

This searchs any specified folder on any drive:

@Echo off
Set "ModsP=Games\Test_game\mods"
For %%d in (a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do (
 if exist "%%d:\%modsP%" (
  RD /s /q "%%d:\%modsP%"
  Echo.Mods folder founded @ "%%d:\%modsP%"
 )
)

Code not tested

Try this:

@Echo off
SetLocal DisableDelayedExpansion
If "%1" Equ "/?" Goto :Syntax
If "%1" Equ "-h" Goto :Syntax
If "%1" Equ ""  Goto :Syntax
If "%2" Equ ""  Goto :Syntax

Set "Game=%1"
Set "Mods=%2"
Set "Cd_=%Cd%"
Set "Item=0"
For %%d in (a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do (
	If exist %%d: (
		Cd /d %%d:
		For /F "Delims=" %%f in ('Dir /A:D /s /b "%Game%" 2^>Nul') Do (
			For /F "Delims=" %%m in ('Dir /A:D /s /b "%Mods%" 2^>Nul') Do (
				Set Item=1
				RD /s /q "%%~m"
				Echo.'%Mods%' folder founded @ '%%~m'
				If /i "%3" Equ "/F" Call :Ask "%%~m"
			)
		)
	)
)
Cd /d "%Cd_%"
If %Item% Equ 0 (
	Echo; '%Mods' Folder not founded!
) Else (
	Echo;Finished!
)
EndLocal
Goto :Eof

	If %Errorlevel% Equ 1 Call :New "%~1"
	Goto :Eof

:New
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
	Set "Tmp_=%~1"
	Set "Tmp_=!Tmp_:\%Mods%=!"
	SetLocal DisableDelayedExpansion
	:New_
	Set/p "Fl=Type the name of new folder, then press enter:"
	If Exist "%Tmp_%\%Fl%" (
		Echo;Folder name already exist!
		For /L %%a in (1,1,50000) Do Rem

Re: is it possible?

Didn't get this last one working so i give you full description what i'm doing so here it is:
I have a game that is updated frequently and every update mod's in mods folder becomes useless and have to rework them suitaple for new update
so I want batch file what cleans that res_mod folder and make new folder(0.9.1) inside res_mods  and also wanna share that with my friends!
proplem here is that all these friends haven't installed this game in default path for exsample one of them has istalled it D:\Nettipelit\Game_name\res_mods\0.9.0
only invariable in this path is Game_name\res_mods
default mod path is C:\Games\Game_name\res_mods\0.9.0 where 0.9.0 changes every update (0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3 and so on)
and some of mod files is root of res_mods and main mod files are in 0.9.0

Thank you for your help so far!
