One this I have not been able to wrap my head around is trying to batch process on some files. I have a collection of files (eg, 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt, 4.txt.....etc).

And I have a command I want to execute, eg:
X1.txt=Readthisfile('1.txt','key','Source');

I have to do this roughly 200+ times, and rather than write this out everytime, I'd like to put together a script to seamlessly run through all off the files in the folder.

Anyone has a good 'pointer' for me to the help files, or a suggestion to get me started?

Thanks,
Matt

Here's a nice little GUI template that will let you select files and
batch process them:

It should be easy to adapt for your situation.

Processing a sequence of files is question 4.12 in the newsgroup FAQ (linked
in my signature) -- that gives a couple of small examples of how to do this.
