Hello, I'd like to use a program, that needs a single file as parameter. Im my directory there are lot's of *.java-files I want to use the program with. Could anyone tell me how is the syntax for iterating through all files and run the program in every step? I thought of something like: foreach (*.java) { program $_; } (a little perl-like ;) )

That does the work as expected. By the way "$_" is a standard variable in Perl. In my perl-like code snippet it should represent the parameter that is given to the program "program".
