Count a specific character [BATCH]

Solved

Hello,

I have a line:

M:\folder\hello\test

I would like to count the number of "\" and add 2 to it.

Actually, I need this value for the tokens of a for loop that processes the files in this folder using "\". More clearly, I need the 5th element of the URL in this example.

M:\folder\hello\test
1 \ 2 \ 3 \ 4 \ 5

Here is my code so far:

set localisation= M:\folder\hello\test
set nbreDossier=5

dir /b /s %location% > path.txt

for /f "tokens=%nbreDossier% delims=\" %%i in (path.txt) do (
...
)

In fact, this will help me make my script dynamic... I will then have:

set /p localisation=enter the location

and the token value will be calculated automatically. 
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.5.2

    dir /b /s %location% > chemin.txt
    for /f "tokens=* delims=\" %%a in (chemin.txt) do (
    pause
    echo %%~na > format.txt
    pause

    I can't even reach the first pause -____-

      Waa I just realized something, your %%~na takes the last element, so if in my chemin.txt I have:

      M:\hello\h1
      M:\hello\h2
      M:\hello\h3
      M:\hello\h4


      %%~na will always be equal to h4 -__- in my for loop.... not cool, do you have a solution so that I get h1 first, then h2,... and not always h4?

        that's why you need
        echo %%~na >> format.txt
        and not
        echo %%~na > format.txt

    hello
    if you just want the last element, you can use %~na:
    $ type zz
    1\2\3\4\5

    $ for /f "delims=\ tokens=*" %a in (zz) do @echo %~na
    5
