I wrote the follow cmd command:

for /d %a in (C:\Vendita\*) do set ("folderName=%a" & rmdir %folderName% & md %folderName%)

to iterate trought all 1st level subdirectory of a folder (C:\Vendita), save each subfolder name in a variable called "folderName", remove each subdirectory and remake each subdirectory using the saved name. I have tryed to execute it but it doeasn't work.

what is wrong?

thank you

you'd need [delayed expansion](https://stackoverflow.com/a/30284028/2152082). Or use `%a` directly (you don't need a variable): `for /d %a in (C:\Vendita\*) do rmdir /s /q "%a" & md "%a"` – Stephan Jun 06 '18 at 15:15
it works, thank you – James The Beard Jun 06 '18 at 15:25
