Execute command on files in a dir using bat script

Maxim Vexler — Mon, 30 May 2005 01:26:25 GMT

For the following name scheme:

access_log-w(WW)-(YYYY-MM-DD).log

Where
WW = week (2 digits)
YYYY = year (4 digits)
MM = month (2 d)
DD = day (2 d)

The script doesn't have to know what week it is, all it has to do is "dir" the directory, select the files that match this scheme and the execute a command with the file found (the log file as an argument.

Any pointers (or the whole script for that matter) would be mostly appreciated.

Thank you,
Maxim.

Maxim,

I'm not sure what you mean with "match the scheme", but might this be helpful?

for /f %%a in (
'dir /b "access_log-w(??)-(????-??-??).log"'
) do (
echo %%a
)

Just replace "echo" by your command.

Regards,
Wijnand

Thank you.

I must have misused the term "scheme".

Your answer is exactly what I had in mind.
