Problem with .bat save list files in a folder :(

Hi:)
I have this .bat to save the list of files in a folder


@echo off
chcp 1252
SET NOMEFILE=%TEMP%\FILES.TXT
IF EXIST %NOMEFILE% DEL %NOMEFILE%
FOR /F "delims=;" %%x in ('dir /b %1') do CALL :NOESTENSIONE "%%x" >> %NOMEFILE%
NOTEPAD %NOMEFILE%
DEL %NOMEFILE%
GOTO :EOF

:NOESTENSIONE
ECHO %~n1
GOTO :EOF



The bat file work fine but does not work with special characters like "&". Can you help me?
Thanks:)

The & symbol is a continuation character, so will need to be escaped.. or:

The simplest solution is to use quotes for the assignment, and delayed expansion. This eliminates any need for escaping.

You just need to put quotes around the variable expansions, but one will need delayed expansion.

@echo off
chcp 1252
if not exist "%~1" exit /b 1
set "nomefile=%temp%\FILES.TXT"
>nul copy nul "%nomefile%"
for /f "delims=;" %%X in (' dir /b "%~1" ') do call :NOESTENSIONE "%%~X" >> "%nomefile%"
notepad "%nomefile%"
if exist "%nomefile%" del "%nomefile%"
exit /b 0

:NOESTENSIONE
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
	set "_n1=%~n1"
	setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
	echo(!_n1!
goto :eof

Re: Problem with .bat save list files in a folder :(

Should be able to avoid delayed expansion altogether (and simplify to remove the need of the subroutine call).  Untested, but I think this should do it:

@echo off
chcp 1252
if not exist "%~1" exit /b 1
set "nomefile=%temp%\FILES.TXT"
(
  for /f "delims=;" %%X in ('dir /b "%~1" ') do (
    set /p "OUT=%%~nX" <nul
    echo:
  )
) > "%nomefile%"
notepad "%nomefile%"
if exist "%nomefile%" del "%nomefile%"
exit /b 0

Re: Problem with .bat save list files in a folder :(

Assuming the parameter is a directory name:

@echo off
chcp 1252

set "nomefile=%temp%\FILES.TXT"
set "file_mask=*.mp3 *.flac"

if not exist "%~1"\* exit /b 1

pushd "%~1" || exit /b 1
>"%nomefile%" (
	for /f "delims=;" %%X in (' dir /a:-d /b %file_mask% ') do (
		set/p"=%%~nX"<nul
		echo(
	)
)
popd

notepad "%nomefile%"
if exist "%nomefile%" del "%nomefile%"
