Hi all.
I need to create a batch file that starts a program with a file name as a patameter. After it finishes, i want to activate the program again on a file with the same name but in the next folder in the directory.
For example the parameter file name is test.xml, and i have 3 such files in 3 separate folders. The program name is prog.exe it should look something like that:
prog.exe c:\test\1\test.xml
And then...
prog.exe c:\test\2\test.xml
etc.
Also, Do i have to know the number of folders in the directory or there's a way to activate it on all the folders in a directory?
Thanks for your advice and time

Can you please explain your solution?

What is there to explain? Type that at a command prompt (without the echo) to see what the results are. Type for /? for more detailed information.
