running many files through the same command
Hi everyone,
not sure if the subject of this thread is a good way to describe what I = want to do, but here it is. Basically I wish to convert several (many) = files from WordPerfect format to T602 format. For this, I have a small = utility "pre602.exe" which functions in this way: PRE602.EXE [parameters] inputfile outputfile In my case, let's say I wish to convert a file called "text.wp", I would = do: pre602 /d:5 text.wp text.602 Question 1 Imagine I have twenty files I want to convert, and I don't want to do = each one individually. Is there any way to do this using a batch file? = If I put all those files in one folder, is there any way how to generate = a list of those files, and then run this list through the pre602.exe = command automatically? Question 2 I want to define a custom action for .wp files which would do the = conversion to .602. I was able to do something like this: pre602.exe /d:5 %1 new.602 However, I am not able to figure out a way to refer to the part of the = filename before the file extension, and thus I had to make the output = file something fixed, which I subsequently have to rename. I know "%1" = refers to the file that the action is taken on. If the file is, say, = "xxx.wp", is there any way to refer just to "xxx"? Thanks for your input. Ivan |
