Question

I have a python script called script.py which I would like to run on all of the directories inside of a specific directory. What is the easiest way to do this using batch scripting?

My assumption is some usage of the FOR command, but I can’t quite make any leads to solve the problem using the command…

Answer 1

Use the /d operator on for:

for /D %%d in (*) do script.py %%d

This assumes you only need to execute one command per directory (script.py %%d) if you need to execute more use braces (). Also I’m guessing there’s an execution engine needed first, but not sure what it is for you.

A multi-line example:

for /D %%d in (%1) do (
   echo processing %%d
   script.py %%d
)
