    This script is a utility that accepts command line arguments based on variations of the dir command in windows which in turn creates a batch script containing directories and file names as variables and path names as values.
    The idea is simple pass this script some arguments to create another batch script containing all set commands, then the idea is when writing a script the outputted file could be used as a call to setting the variables and paths, so %cmd.exe% outputted would equal C:\WINDOWS\system32 etc...

    Code:
    @echo off
     setlocal
    
    ::
    ::
    REM This script uses variations of the dir command to create a batch script
    REM Which will set the file names and / or both directory names as a variable
    REM And the path as its value
    REM Ultimately the goal is for the outputed batch file containing the variables
    REM To be used as a call to batch from another batch inorder to set files and
    REM Directories to there path which is the value
    REM So %cmd.exe% outputed would equal C:\WINDOWS\system32
    
        :NOTE:
        REM That if directory names contain a . they will be interpreted as a file
        REM Rather than a directory name
