batch program for each file in directory 2

[Kurt111780]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum. I'm using windows xp and need to create a simple command line program. This is what it needs to do for each file in the directory. fileName1 representing the first file in the directory.

For each file in myDirectory do myCommand fileName1 -options

Thanks,
Kurt

At a command line, type 'Help For' without the ticks. That should get you started.

Hi, I looked at that but I'm having a hard time understanding it. It looks like I need to send the filenames to a text file first?

Thanks,
Kurt

I output the directory listing to a file like this:

dir /B *.zip >temp.txt

Now I need to loop through each filename and run my command.

i've got a little program that will do that for whatever files you want in a directory. it builds a file called
selected.bat you can then do (from the command line)
>selected yourcmd
where yourcmd is whatever the command is (and add options at the end /whatever).(> added to show prompt only not typed
in.)

it's called execbat.exe (source code included)

it was intended to be used with a compiler aid for QuickBasic that i wrote so that i could compile a whole group of programs rather than one at a time.

It was based on the THEOS operating system command FILELIST
with the EXEC option.
