How to specify the current working directory in a batch file

Question

I want to change the command:

copy "D:\Folder\File.txt" "C:\Folder\File.txt"

to:

copy "%current path%\File.txt" "C:\Folder\File.txt"

Is there a way to type input?

Answer 1

copy "%cd%\some.file" "c:\there\some.file"

or

copy "%~dp0some.file" "c:\there\some.file"

they are different. %cd%is the current executable directory, and %~dp0is the bat file if the SHIFT command is not called. Also %~dp0can not be used from the command line, since there is no script.

Answer 2

Try copy ".\File.txt" "C:\Folder\File.txt"
