Windows CMD: Get relative path from absolute path

How do i obtain the relative path from an absolute path, e.g. convert 'C:\absolute\path\file.ext' to 'path'?

Thanks for your consideration

edit: i'd like to recursivly scan a directory for a certain filetype and then create symlinks for these folders containing this filetype. the symlinks should be named like the directory containing the filetype.

This function works
DosTips.com :MakeRelative

It compares both pathes and removes the identical front.
Then it adds "..\" for each non matching part.
