Hi there, is there a possibility to say a batchfile, to go in every subfolder (from current folder) and run a command. for example: myfolder: - folder1 - folder2 - fodler3 he should go in folder1 create a textfile! than goto to folder2 and do the same textfile, and in the end to folder3 and again the textfile... the batchfile have to be variable, so the subfolders can change an he should do it all by its own? would be great if you can tell me how to solve mfg CJ

Yes: for /r %d in (.) do copy textfile %d By the way, you should have asked this sort of question in the programming forum.

thanx for help, this is what i was searching for, one little problem left: for /r %d in (.) do @if exist %d\*.txt echo %d this what i got, just for testing now. when i copy it in the cmd it runs perfectly but when i copy it into a batchfile an run this it got error!!! can you tell me why?

A BAT strips one %; so you need: for /r %%d in (.) do @if exist %%d\*.txt echo %%d ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
