How to run VB script on all files in a directory?

I would like to run a Visual Basic script called "cscript" on all the files in a directory, rather than a single file at a time. Is this possible?

The manual, one-at-a-time command is:

cscript "C:\Program Files\Jampal\ptts.vbs" -w sample.wav < sample.txt

You can use a simple one liner from the command line without any need for a batch script.

I can't tell if your VB script creates the .wav file or if it uses the file.

If your script creates the .wav file, then:

for %F in (*.txt) do cscript "C:\Program Files\Jampal\ptts.vbs" -w "%~dpnF.wav" <"%F"


If your script needs both the .txt and .wav file, then you should verify both exist before attempting to process:

for %F in (*.txt) do if exist "%~dpnF.wav" cscript "C:\Program Files\Jampal\ptts.vbs" -w "%~dpnF.wav" <"%F"
