batch an exe with text input file?

[grimmy26]

I have an application which essentially just switches the extended NTFS offline attribute.
What I would like to do is run this exe against a text file which has a list of files that I want to switch this attribute on for.

How can I batch this exe to run against every file that is listed in my text file?

either just a batch or vbscript would be cool

Suppose the file's paths are stored in a crlf separated plain text file, it is this (supposing command line is proper).

if len(s)<>0 then

'suppose all valid path else no recourse
on error resume next
wshshell.run exefile & " " & chr(34) & a(i) & chr(34),1,true '1 for normal (debugging), 0 for hidden
on error goto 0
end if
