Question

I need to translate a linux batch file into a windows bat file.

for FILE in *.tif
do
  NEWFILE=../lowres/${FILE}
  gdal_translate -outsize 25% 25% $FILE $NEWFILE
done

I don´t know how to set a variable in a windows bat file.

Thanks for any help,

cheers,

Rob

I’m not sure what ${FILE} does, the following runs;

gdal_translate -outsize 25% 25% "XXX.tif" "../lowres/XXX.tif"

for each .tif in the current directory;

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%f in (*.tif) do (
    set newfile=../lowres/%%f
    gdal_translate -outsize 25%% 25%% "%%f" "%newfile%"
)
