Using for to search a folder and all its subfolders
Posted: 03 Apr 2010 12:17
is this possible? I have created a batch file that searches for all .vtf files without an according .vmt file. And creates a vmt for them.
It works perfectly other than you have to specify the subfolder where the certain textures are located. I want it to scan anything within the materials folder, and all its subfolders. This is required because many of the subfolders names change and new ones get added/removed. Sorry if im vague or confusing im in a hurry.
Heres the code i have now:
I appreciate any help, im quite the batch noob. :c
