Alex:

I am missing something here:

I am pasting the code at the end of this REPLY into notepad...then saving
the file as convert.cmd

I am putting this file (convert.cmd) into the following folder (C:\logs)
along with all the log files I want to convert.....Then I am going out to
DOS.....then into C:\logs....and then typing ""convert.cmd". I am getting a
message that states "


C:\Logs>convert.cmd

operable program or batch file.

convert directory

:convert

Oh, I see. The problem is that word "ANSI" within the script
wrapped by my newsreader and ended up on new line. In
section ":usage" each line must start with command "echo".
Just put "ANSI" in the end of previous line.

The script should recieve target folder as parameter:

convert.cmd C:\Log

It doesn't matter where script itself is located. When
launched without any parameters it prints usage info.

If you want to process current directory, then just use "."
as parameter:

convert.cmd .

I made input folder as parameter to script in order to gain
some flexibility and avoid copying it each time into target
folder. As an added bonus you can drag and drop desired
folder right onto the script without going to command
prompt.
