Question: I have a .exe file that runs with a file name as a switch. It does NOT support a wild card as part of the switch. How can I create a batch file that would got through all *.bmp files in the present folder and run the .exe with that file name as part of the switch?

Ex: .exe is call color.exe
Usage would be: color photo.bmp

I have many .bmp files in the folder that I want to run color.exe on.

Any suggeestions?

You don't need a batch file. Just run it through the for command.

for /f %a in ('dir /b *.bmp') do color %a

If you insist on putting this in a batch file, then you'll need to double the % signs -

for /f %%a in ('dir /b *.bmp') do color %%a
