Asking for %COMMANDER_PARENT% environment variable to define a parent path above %COMMANDER_PATH%

[beb]

The title mostly says it all.

Such a variable would be highly appreciated respecting portability purposes.

Now I just use %COMMANDER_PATH% variable parsing to detect the Total Commander parent path:

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH:~,-n%

where n is a number that is defined as the length of a "Total Commander working folder name" +1 (considering a trailing backslash).
But such an approach isn't universal since the n may vary.

Thank you.

beb,
Well, we have %COMMANDER_DRIVE%, or you can use %COMMANDER_PATH%\..

"%COMMANDER_DRIVE%" does not fully fit if the path depth differs.
"%COMMANDER_PATH%\.." looks interesting. Thank you.
