Hi All,

I would like to ask some tips how to do this, trying to drag and drop mulitple files on a bat file that run a program.

My bat file is like this, so far it only will open two text files i drap and drop. What if i want to open ten or more text files? tried to google but just really can't get it work.

Thank you.


C:\Windows\notepad.exe %1
C:\Windows\notepad.exe %2

pause

Something about like that: Note that the batch code receives the whole path for each file. At some point (depending on the length of the path) you will exceed the maximum length of a command line if you drop too many files.

Hi Steffen,

Thank you able to make it work.

was trying to make a program (not notepad) to run multiple files by batch.

But i realize it will open and run the program same times together.

My silly way
C:\Windows\notepad.exe %1
C:\Windows\notepad.exe %2

will make the program run first file (%1) then second file (%2).

for %%i in (%*) do start "" notepad %%i

I can open two drag and drop files same time but if there is a way to make the program run drag and drop files one by one? ( as the program i intend to run is a render program that eat memories).

Thank you for your time.

found the behaviour i would like it to be after i remove the "start"

c:
cd xxxxxx(directory where the program)

for %%i in (%*) do xxxxx(program exe file name) %%i

Thank you very much.

My bad, sorry. I added the START command because people usually ask for asynchronous processing of several files
