Question : Use DOS Batch File to Expand Wildcard into Filenames

Greetings. I have a program that takes a single filename as a parameter (i.e. no wildcards). I'd like to create a batch file as a "wrapper" for this program so that I may pass a wildcard to the batch file and have the it extract each individual filename that fits the wildcard and pass them one by one to the program in a loop.

My batch script writing is pretty rusty, so I would appreciate any help. If you can give me an example that I can put to use or the entire script, that would be very helpful to me, hence the 500 points.

If you need more information, just let me know.,

Thanks!

Something like that?

@echo off
setlocal
for %%a in (%*) do (
  echo Processing file: [%%a]
  YourProgram.exe "%%a"
)
