Batch File To List Folder Names

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to list folder names by using For Loop. The batch file contains a series of DOS (Disk Operating System) instructions. It allows triggering the execution of commands found in this file.
 

Example 1: Batch File To List Folder Names
