Run my code on several files.

[hoohaahii]

Hi,

I wrote a C code that converts csv files to space delimited. it works fine, but now I need to run the code on a lot of files.

is there a way to run my code on multiple files without having to do it one by one?

I don't know if this involves a C code or is it some trick to do in DOS.

I'm using visual studio, and I have windows 7 OS.

Thank you
A.Y.A

Hi

forfiles ?

forfiles /m *.csv /C "yourapp.exe @file"

I cannot assure this, but selecting all the files and dragging them into the exe file could work if you don't want to write a single line.

Thank you guys,

I used the forfile command , but the problem is that my program requires two arguments which are the input file "*.csv" and an output file "*.sd", I can not figure out how to specify the output file in the forfile command! any idea?

Dian, your idea didn't work, for the same reason I think, thanks though.

Hi

I can not figure out how to specify the output file in the forfile command!

Tried to read the command reference I linked ?

forfiles /m *.csv /C "yourapp.exe @file @fname.sd"

Or modify your program so if just one parameter is informed, the output file name will be the same as the input one.

Why not use for /f

for /f %i in (*.csv) do app.exe %i

It is just standard NT command and works on all versions in the NT family tree from NT to W7.
