What is the easiest method to get name of folder (a version number) in which batch file is running?

I have this folder structure:

C:\SomeFolder\SubFolder\Version\Version_IMS

I have a batch script in C:\SomeFolder\SubFolder\Version that needs to enter the directory Version_IMS
The version can be for example 5.3.12.0 and is not constant as it changes. So I cannot know it.

I need in the script to extract the last directory it is in for example 5.3.12.0 and then I can enter to 5.3.12.0_IMS.

What is the easiest way to achieve it?

for %%a in ("%~dp0.") do cd /d "%%~fa\%%~nxa_IMS"

Where

%~dp0 is the drive and path of the current batch file

%%~fa is the full path to the element being referenced by the for replaceable parameter %%a

%%~nxa is the name and extension of the element being referenced by the for replaceable parameter %%a.

So, we retrieve a reference to the folder that contains the batch file, get the name of that folder and use it to enter (i have used cd) into the child folder
