Hi I am trying to create a program to do the following Search a drive for files of a certain type and the pass the file name on to batch file so a vbs script can be execued on them, I have tried this with for file sbut it keeps crashing with recursive folder errors. Does anyone know why this would happen or another way of doing it. Thanks Forfiles echo on FORFILES -pC:\ -s -v -m*.ppt -c"CMD /c c:\allinonebat.bat @FILE, @PATH, @FSIZE" Batch file IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto end IF %3 LEQ 10000000 goto end echo %2\%1 >> "c:\filename.txt" move %2\%1 g:\IT_TempStorage\Powerpointtestfiles\%1 copy g:\IT_TempStorage\Powerpointtestfiles\%1 c:\temp\657465834639.ppt IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto end cd c:\ cscript c:\final.vbs c:\temp\657465834639.ppt %2\%1 del c:\temp\657465834639.ppt /F :end

Try something like this: (You have to save the code into a .bat file) ::CODE @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%A in ('dir /b /s *.ppt') do ( cscript c:\final.vbs "%%A" ) ::ENDCODE Or you can make a list of all .ppt files and save it to a txt file which your vb script could load @echo off dir /b /s *.ppt >pptfilelist.txt

Hi The first one would seem ideal, however when i run the batch file I get an erroraya A not expected at this point? Cheers thanks
