If you want to make the batch list files from different locations (c:\Music, d:\MP3s, etc) then you can previously make a list of all these locations then use a FOR loop to repeat the action for each of them. Depending on your use you can put that list inside the same batch or create a separate file...

According to your dbasedos.ini file the language driver loaded is DB437ES1 which looks like a 437 page code. If you could find a file named DB850ES1 or similar then you might replace it in the dbasedos.ini file.

AFAIK run is not a DOS command. Maybe it is an executable file (.exe or .com). In that case it must be in the same directory where the batch is started or in the PATH. Try to search for any run.* file.

I see, this is because of the EXIT command. This one should work: echo off set "sourcedir=D:\BC250_IN" set "destdir=D:\BC250_OUT" cd /d "%sourcedir%" :: Count the number of PDF files set numbfile=0 FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('dir /b *.pdf 2^>nul') do &#...

And repeat all this per folder needed to be processed. Does it mak...

If I understood correctly you want the script to check for a 5-digit sequence at the beginning of the filename and, if only 4 digits present, add the missing digit between the fourth and fifth character (alpha here)? But how can we tell the script what digit to put? In your example the file somepic1...
