exe - How do you run an executable on multiple folders?

Question

• I need to run an executable on multiple folders. Lets say the EXECUTABLE is called "example.exe".
• The group of folders are DATED sub-directories that use a scheme of 20140101-20141231. A year of dated sub-directories. 365 Folders in total.
• I usually run the command like: d:FOLDER1FOLDER2EXECUTABLESexample.exe /DATE 20140101

The problem w/ this method is that I am ONLY able to run this executable on ONE dated sub-directory or folder at a time...any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

Directly from the prompt,

for /d %a in (d:yoursubdirectory2014*) do d:FOLDER1FOLDER2EXECUTABLESexample.exe /DATE %%~na

or

for /d %a in (d:yoursubdirectory2014*) do call d:FOLDER1FOLDER2EXECUTABLESexample.exe /DATE %%~na

or

for /d %a in (d:yoursubdirectory2014*) do start /w "" d:FOLDER1FOLDER2EXECUTABLESexample.exe /DATE %%~na

may suit.

(I've assumed you want the parameter following the /date switch to be the name of the directory; also 2014* assumes you want this to run on all directories named starting 2014.)
