using python tool on multiple files

there is a tool I write using python that analyze a pdf file by passing it in the cmd

c:\python "my_tool.py" -s "my_pdf.pdf"

I want to test the tool on 1000 files. how could I run the tool on all of the 1000 files.

I used this 

for /f %%f in ('dir /b C:\Users\Test\Desktop\CVE_2010-2883_PDF_25files') do echo %%f

but how can I specify (the tool) and (-s) argument

Try like this :

@echo off
for /f %%f in ('dir /a-d/b C:\Users\Test\Desktop\CVE_2010-2883_PDF_25files\*.pdf') do (
  "c:\python\my_tool.py" -s "%%~dnxf")

You can make your life a lot easier, by making sure the tool can just search a directory for all pdf files:

import glob
import os

def get_files(directory):
    for i in glob.iglob(os.path.join(directory, '*.pdf')):
       do_something(i)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import argparse
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('-f', '--file', help='enter filename')
    parser.add_argument('-d', '--directory', help='enter directory of pdf files')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    if args.directory:
        get_files(args.directory)
    if args.file:
        do_something(args.file)

If you have the Unix find command you can use 

find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec c:\python "my_tool.py" -s {} \;

This runs your command on each of the pdf files in the current directory

you can use grep to pass all .pdf file to script !

c:\python grep *.pdf|"my_tool.py" -s

or with this script :

for i in $(\ls -d *.pdf)
do
    python "my_tool.py" -s $i
done
