Batch file scripting

Question

My Application.exe takes a filename as a parameter.

I would like to write a windows batch file script that does the following:

Lets me point to a folderpath and does the following:

 for int = 0 ; i<folderpath.filecount();i++
{
  Application.exe filename[i]
}

Many Thanks

Error: '/*) was unexpected at this time' ..need a bit more help on this...or am i being dense?

@evil otto: Seems like you've mixed up the %/%% usage. It should be %%i (both of them) and %1. And to play safe, it might be better to use \ as the path delimiter. One other thing: the second occurrence of %%i might need to be enclosed in double quotes.

So... for %%i in (%1*) do Application.exe %%i or for %%i in (%1*) do Application.exe "%%i"

@Andriy M - you're completely right; serves me right for writing it from memory.

@van: Yes, @evil otto has been good enough to amend his solution, so you can use it for reference.
