Drive letter from volume name

Well, it's not running from a drive yet (I'm doing something weird which
I'll talk about later). I need the command to go out and find the drive to
use.

Thanks,
Adrian

 Have you tried using the %CD% environment variable? I think it will
populate with the directory you?re running your script from.  Also, are you
doing this in VBScript or batch scripting?

Hi all,
    I'm writing a u3 script of sorts. I need to be able to know where to
copy data to, but the drive letter will change depending on the box I stick
it in. I want to do it all from one command line.Ive found a way as long as
I know my drive's volume name (MyThumb ).  This seems to work:


WMIC logicaldisk list brief |findstr MyThumb > delme.txt && FOR /F
"tokens=1*" %i IN ('type delme.txt') DO set ufddrive = %i\

But is there a cleaner way?


Thanks,
Adrian
