Windows Batch File Looping Through Directories to Process Files?

by

You may write a recursive algorithm in Batch that gives you exact control of what you do in every nested subdirectory:

@echo off
call :treeProcess
goto :eof

:treeProcess
rem Do whatever you want here over the files of this subdir, for example:
for %%f in (*.tif) do echo %%f
for /D %%d in (*) do (
    cd %%d
    call :treeProcess
    cd ..
)
exit /b
