What is the difference between % and %% in a cmd file?

I receive files via FTP that are placed in a folder called Landing. These files arrive in a folder that is randomly named, for example 000174, and the files inside are named Activity.txt.174 for example.
I have created a small script that allows me to reduce the file name to Activity.txt which works perfectly fine when executed within a command shell but when saved as a batch file it will not execute.
The script line is:
FOR /R %f IN (*.txt.*) DO REN "%f" *.&
I have attempted to add various triggers from other scripts to get this working but when I get this working via CMD it still will not execute from a batch file.
Can anyone help please.
Mike
Change
FOR /R %f IN (*.txt.*) DO REN "%f" *.&
to
FOR /R %%f IN (*.txt.*) DO REN "%%f" *.&
https://ss64.com/nt/for_f.html
Use double percent sign before your variable name.
Batch script
#echo off
FOR /R HERE_YOUR_ROOT_PATH %%f IN (*.txt.*) DO REN "%%f" *.&
#echo on

There is a folder called 'weapons', and in this folder are empty files, like 'P250.wep, AWP.wep'. I need to make a batch file that loops through the folder, takes every file name, and puts it in a different variable. For example, after looping these files, P250.wep should be stored in variable weapon1, and AWP.wep in weapon2. Please help me!!!
You can try this method, but it's automatically sort alphabetically before the loop starts. So, this mean AWP.wep will be weapon1, and P250.wep will be weapon2. One more thing, I don't know which one do you want to store, you mentioned "take every file name", but you also mentioned file name with extension... If you don't mind, take a look at the script:
#echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set count=1
for %%a in (c:\PATH\weapons) do (
set "weapon!count!=%%~na"
set /a count+=1
)
pause >nul

I want to store this command in a variable called code1
dir /a:d /b
so the output would be:
Folder1
Folder2
Folder3
etc...
Any ideas how to do it?
I've checked other questions and when it just sais echo is off.
Simply store the command in the variable like you say. To execute, simply expand the value:
#echo off
setlocal
:: Define a simple "macro"
set "code1=dir /a:d /b"
:: Execute the "macro"
%code1%

I need a batch code that will tell me if test.txt is there or not it is in the same directory as the batch file. I would like to know what I should put in the space where it says the code. Can anyone help?
rem the code
echo yes

IF EXIST yourfilename (
echo Yes

Note : ELSE command must be on the same line as the end of the IF command.
To explore more type IF /? in cmd.
