How to get a splitted string last element in windows batch?

I have this windows batch file to make easier my frontend developers work:

@echo off
echo.

set NEW_COMPONENT=%1
set NEW_COMPONENT=%NEW_COMPONENT:/=\%
set NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT=%NEW_COMPONENT:/= %

REM get the component name (last item form '/' spearated array)
for %%a in ("%NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT%") do set "COMPONENT_NAME=%%~nxa"

set HTML=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\%COMPONENT_NAME%.html
set SCSS=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\_%COMPONENT_NAME%.scss
set JS=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\_%COMPONENT_NAME%.js
set IMG=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\img

mkdir src\%NEW_COMPONENT%
echo | set /p x=created folder: src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\

echo. 2>%HTML%
echo | set /p x=created file: %HTML%

echo. 2>%SCSS%
echo | set /p x=created file: %SCSS%

echo. 2>%JS%
echo created file: %JS%

mkdir %IMG%
echo | set /p x=created folder: %IMG%\

echo.

Now they ask me put import %COMPONENT_NAME% from '%PARENT_COMPONENT'; string into first line of parent component .js files to link automatically the new component and the parent.

The user can use this like this:

create-component.bat components/header/nav

In this case the %COMPONENT_NAME% will be nav but how can I catch the item before last item? In this case it will be header

Change your for loop section to this (ammended first loop and added line):

for %%a in ("%NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT%") do set "COMPONENT_TMP=%%~pa"
for %%i in ("%COMPONENT_TMP:~0,-1%") do set "COMPONENT_NAME=%%~nxi"

So, your ammended script:

@echo off
echo.

set NEW_COMPONENT=%1
set NEW_COMPONENT=%NEW_COMPONENT:/=\%
set NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT=%NEW_COMPONENT:/= %

REM get the component name (last item form '/' spearated array)
for %%a in ("%NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT%") do set "COMPONENT_TMP=%%~pa"
for %%i in ("%COMPONENT_TMP:~0,-1%") do set "COMPONENT_NAME=%%~nxi"

set HTML=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\%COMPONENT_NAME%.html
set SCSS=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\_%COMPONENT_NAME%.scss
set JS=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\_%COMPONENT_NAME%.js
set IMG=src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\img

mkdir src\%NEW_COMPONENT%
echo | set /p x=created folder: src\%NEW_COMPONENT%\

echo. 2>%HTML%
echo | set /p x=created file: %HTML%

echo. 2>%SCSS%
echo | set /p x=created file: %SCSS%

echo. 2>%JS%
echo created file: %JS%

mkdir %IMG%
echo | set /p x=created folder: %IMG%\

echo.

for can work with relative paths. So components\header\nav\.. is the same as components\header. From that path you need the last element %%~nxA:

set "NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT=components\header\nav"
for %%A in ("%NEW_COMPONENT_TO_SPLIT%\..") do set "COMPONENT_NAME=%%~nxA"
echo %COMPONENT_NAME"
