execute a command on selected files

[Balderstrom]

Looks like you need to take the slashes out, add .exe, and if the quotes are moved slightly (and use ~) -- the output is much cleaner.
Parameters: "%F" "%P" "%T"

Code: Select all

@echo off 
if -%3==- echo First parameter must be filelist path, second and third - source and target path. && pause && goto :EOF 
for /F "usebackq delims=" %%f in ("%~1") do ( 
	"c:\program files\epstool\bin\epstool.exe"  --copy --bbox "%~2%%f" "%~3%%f" 
)
pause 
cls

In answer to your questions.

1. Yes, i am executing the command on files in the /bin directory.
2. I too thought it was strange, that the '/' wasn't getting put there. Seems like it should.
3. When i copied and pasted this command and tried to execute it, i got the exact same error as i reported previously. Does this mean epstool or the command processor doesn't know how to handle concated strings?

Thanks so much for your help!

Yes, it seems like epstool can't handle concatenated quoted strings. So you should use Balderstrom batch - it will add only outer quotes to filenames.
