Windows Solutions
Solution 1 - Windows
This prints it in the console:
echo %cd%
or paste this command in CMD, then you'll have pwd:
(echo @echo off
echo echo ^%cd^%) > C:\WINDOWS\pwd.bat
Solution 2 - Windows
It is cd for "current directory".
Solution 3 - Windows
Open notepad as administrator and write:
@echo %cd%
Save it in c:\windows\system32
with the name "pwd.cmd" (be careful not to save pwd.cmd.txt)
Then you have the pwd command.
Solution 4 - Windows
cd ,
it will give the current directory
D:\Folder\subFolder>cd ,
D:\Folder\subFolder
Solution 5 - Windows
cd without any parameters is equivalent to pwd on Unix/Linux.
From the console output of typing cd /?:
Displays the name of or changes the current directory.
[...]
Type CD without parameters to display the current drive and directory.
Solution 6 - Windows
You can just type
cd
it will return you the current path.
Solution 7 - Windows
In PowerShell pwd is an alias to Get-Location so you can simply run pwd in it like in bash
It can also be called from cmd like this powershell -Command pwd although cd or echo %cd% in cmd would work just fine
Solution 8 - Windows
hmm - pwd works for me on Vista...
Final EDIT: it works for me on Vista because WinAvr installed pwd.exe and added \Program Files\WinAvr\Utils\bin to my path.
Solution 9 - Windows
C:\Documents and Settings\Scripter>echo %cd%
C:\Documents and Settings\Scripter
C:\Documents and Settings\Scripter>
for Unix use pwd command
Solution 10 - Windows
Use the below command
dir | find "Directory"
Solution 11 - Windows
You can simply put "." the dot sign. I've had a cmd application that was requiring the path and I was already in the needed directory and I used the dot symbol.
Hope it helps.
