I need the basename + extension of a file in a relative path in an environment variale. Eg: if I type in the argument ....Appdatabintest.jpg the resulting environmental var should contain test.jpg. If I type an argument of the bat sript like sub1sub2input.png, it should contain input.png. This can be done with a for statement, with delims=, and choosing for the LAST field. I don't know how to select the last field.
