Hey, I need a script to use the following command on all files in a directory: The script sets all the files in the directory into a variable and applies the following command to all of them (each file individually): bfish /i:%filename% /o:%filename%_encrypt /p:%password% /e I know how to set data to variables, however, I'm not sure how to apply a command to all files in a directory simultaneously. The script will hopefully look something like this: Directory? enter directory here Password? enter encryption password here Script then continues to apply the command to all files in the directory that it has found Any help MUCH appreciated.

The following script should work as you want; it requires Windows NT/2K/XP environments: @Echo Off Echo ENCR - Encryption Utility Set Fldr= Set Pswd= :INIT Echo. Set /P Fldr=Enter Folder: If %Fldr%.==. GoTo MSG If not exist %Fldr%.\Nul GoTo MSG GoTo EXEC :MSG Echo. Echo Folder [%Fldr%] missing or not found GoTo INIT :EXEC Set /P Pswd=Enter Password: Echo. Echo Folder is [%Fldr%] Echo Encryption Password is [%Pswd%] Echo. Echo Press any key to process or Ctrl+C to end Pause > Nul For %%I in (%Fldr%.\*.*) Do ( Echo Encripting %%I bfish /i:%%I /o:%%I_encrypt /p:%Pswd% /e ) Echo. Echo Processing completed Set Fldr= Set Pswd= Have a nice day

C:\doswork>test ENCR - Encryption Utility Enter Folder: c:\doswork\texts Enter Password: paxbucuuile Folder is [c:\doswork\texts] Encryption Password is [paxbucuuile] Press any key to process or Ctrl+C to end Encripting c:\doswork\texts.\April 2003.txt Error: Unable to open the input file Encripting c:\doswork\texts.\August 2003.txt Error: Unable to open the input file Encripting c:\doswork\texts.\July 2003.txt Error: Unable to open the input file Processing completed

Oh, nevermind, it was because of the spaces in the file names. Thanks a lot for your help.
