windows - How do I find a Specific File Name in Batch and change to that directory?

Question

I am coding a batch file that will get the directory of a specific file(curl_for_64bit.exe). I tried using the find command but it does not work. It basically gets the directory of the file, changes to that directory so that it can be copied.

Answer 1

you can traverse the directory tree with a FOR command checking for the existence of the required file until it's found

for /r /d %%a in (*) do (
  if exist %%acurl_for_64bit.exe (
    pushd %%a
    goto :eof
  )
)
