Batch file Question

There's no home for batch file questions :(

anyway,

How do I loop through all the files in a directory and process them one at a time?

Are you programming in VB , QB or
something else?

DOS batch file!

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
----------------------------------------


111.bat
---------------
@echo off
type Hello.txt' replace with file to loop(include path if not in same dir)(if file is exe just put the path)
222


222.bat
---------------
@echo off
type Hello.txt' replace with file to loop(include path if not in same dir)
111


Hello.txt
---------------
Hello

-----------------------------------------------------------

All files in dir eg.

111.bat
------------------
@echo off
c:\whatever\*.exe_____________(and, or *.com...)
c:\whatever2\222.bat

222.bat
------------------
@echo off
c:\whatever\*.exe
c:\whatever2\111.bat


Several years ago someone told me that anything
you can type on the command line, and works, you
can put in a batch file.

I don't think that is quite what I'm looking for.

If I was using VB I would use a FileList and do something like:

Code:

---


For i = 0 To File1.ListCount - 1


Shell "myexe " & File1.List(i)

Next i

---

I want to to the same sort of thing using a batch file

I don't suppose anyone is remotely interested but I just solved this for myself.

This might be NT only though.

This will "type" all .txt files inn the directory:

on the command line:
for %f in (*.txt) do type %f

or in a batch file:
for %%f in (*.txt) do type %%f

Sorry I wasn't more help.

A question was asked in General forum about
delaying windows. This could hold the key for
them too.(If used in autoexec)
