ForEach … Folder "c:\… " Do … Od

The statement ForEach … Folder is used to process files in a folder.

Syntax

ForEach File

Folder "path\foldername"

Do

  ...	;

Od;

ForEach File This variable declared as Text. Common practice is to use File as variable name because it will contain the current File at each passing. Note that Directories in Folder are processed as well.
Folder "path\foldername" Folder path and name. Each file in this folder will be processed in the part Do ... Od. This must be an
expression of type TEXT.
... ; Repeating code

Every file in the folder is assigned to the variable File before the Do … Od is executed.

The command Break can be used to terminate the loop unconditionally.

Note

Any folders in the Folder set will also be processed. Please make sure that your code can handle directories as input.

Example

Var Text File;
Var Text ResultDirectory = C:\ITPResult;

ForEach File 
Folder ResultDirectory 
Do
	If file_format(File) = "doc"
		THEN
			DoctoPDF
				Src (File)
				Dest (File[,"pdf"]);
	Fi;
Od;

This will convert all Microsoft Word files in the c:\ITPResult directory to PDF.
