Hi all, i am looking for some HELP please

Basicly i have a program lets call it program.exe that doesn't support wildcards
what i want is a batch file to find say *.EXT in a folder and run the command on the found file, go back check again for anymore and process if necessary.

this sound so simple i cannot seam to work it out.



you want to run all .exe in folder ?i have a folder called somefolder
in this folder are some FILES called
aaaaaa.aaa
aaaaaa.bbb
aaaaaa.ccc
bbbbbb.aaa
bbbbbb.bbb
cccccc.aaa
etc

i have a program called prog.exe

i want to process all the *.aaa files

this works for a SINGLE file

Code: [Select]cd work
..\tools\prog.exe aaaaaa.aaa
exit
this won't work on multiple files

Code: [Select]cd work
..\tools\prog.exe *.aaa
exit
the prog.exe does not support wildcards
the prefix to the filename changes every time the batch is called
the extension is always the same
the folders are always the same
all you need is the for loop.can you post an example code that would work pleaseCode: [Select]@ECHO off
for /f %%a in ('dir /b *.aaa') do prog.exe %%a
pauseCode: [Select]@echo off
for /f "tokens=" %%A in ( ' dir /b *.aaa ' ) do (
echo Processing file %%A
start /WAIT "" "Path to\prog.exe" "%%A"
)
@for /r somefolder %%a in (*.aaa) do @prog "%%a"Thanks for all the fast replys and help got it working now
