    hello
    you can also use the variable %~nI
    for /F "delims=" %I in ('dir /b') do @echo %~nI

    Hello,

    It is possible to perform this operation in a more elegant and certainly more reliable way:

    @ECHO OFF
    DEL liste.txt
    FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR .\folder\*.ext /B /O n') DO ECHO %%~nI >> liste.txt

    Indeed, the ~n format option allows you to get only the file name without the extension.

    The problem with the previous method is that if the file name contains a “.” (for example: “file.with.dots.ext”, the file name will be truncated (only “file” will remain in the previous example).

    I hope this will be useful to some.
    Best regards,

    Tym

    Try it 
    @echo off for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%i in ('dir .\folder\*.ext /b /o n') do echo %%i >list.txt


    Keep me updated!

    Thank you very much, after a slight modification I got what I wanted:

    @echo off
    del liste.txt
    for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%i in ('dir .\dossier\*.ext /b /o n') do echo %%i >>liste.txt

    The previous code listed the files in liste.txt but overwrote each time, so in the end I only had one name in liste.txt (the last one in the list).
    By adding >> instead of >, I had all the names, but if I reran the batch it would relist the already present files, hence the addition of a little del to delete the file before creating a new one.

    Thanks again for your precious help.
