I want to run a script (which I have in a .bat
file already)
"c:\Flac\flac.exe" -8 *.wav --verify --delete-input-file --replay-gain
in all subfolders of a main folder.
If I take this .bat
file and copy/paste it into any folder and run it, it works great and I get the expected results. However, if I have a main folder with 50 folders that I want to do this in, it takes forever to copy and paste that file 50 times.
Been trying to figure out the syntax for using (I assume) the command
FOR /R
but can't seem to get it right.
For example let's say directory tree is this:
c:\ FLAC flac.exe flac BATCH.bat Music to be converted 1 2 3
I want to run the C:\FLAC\flac BATCH.bat
in every subfolder of C:\Music to be converted
I've tried
FOR /R "C:\Music to be converted" %X IN (*.wav) DO "C:\FLAC\flac BATCH.bat" "%X"
but this doesn't work. I need the FOR /R
command to go through the subfolders, don't I?
Based on my comment.
From the command line:
For /D %A In ("C:\Music to be converted\*") Do @(PushD "%~A" & "C:\Flac\flac.exe" -8 *.wav --verify --delete-input-file --replay-gain & PopD)
Or as a batch file:
@Echo Off
For /D %%A In ("C:\Music to be converted\*") Do (PushD "%%~A"
"C:\Flac\flac.exe" -8 *.wav --verify --delete-input-file --replay-gain
PopD)
