Question

I want to run an exe file on all files in a folder with 4 different options of operation. So each file produces 4 different outputs and I want all 4 outputs to have different names.
Kindly be detailed in your response as I am not good at scripting.
Regards!

OKay, here is example code I want to automate:

  exefile -p1 1 -p2 2 -i inputfile.etc -o inputfile_12.etc 
  exefile -p1 3 -p2 4 -i inputfile.etc -o inputfile_34.etc 
  exefile -p1 5 -p2 6 -i inputfile.etc -o inputfile_56.etc 
  exefile -p1 7 -p2 8 -i inputfile.etc -o inputfile_78.etc 

The script should fetch all the file names from the folder, do these operation, and save the output with a modified name of the file.

Thanks!

Hi again, I need to improve it a bit. It should read all the files (two different extensions) in the folder and match the file names for similarity but of different extensions. Each file has a very similar file but with the other extension. So, two matched file names should be available in two variables that can passed on to the subsequent operation commands. Thanks!

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /a num=1
for %%a in (C:\folder\*.*) do (
exefile -p1 1 -p2 2 -i %%a -o %%~na!num!%%~xa
set /a num+=1
)
