I can't remember how to write a batch file to automatically do commandline work of a whole bunch of files.

Here's what I want to do:

Check if a .xa file exists in the folder.
If so, get it's filename and execute XA2WAV (filename).xa (filename).wav
Delete the .xa
Rinse and repeat until there are no more .xa files

I'm pretty sure this is possible, but can't remember how to do it. Any suggestions?

Quick 'n dirty set-up:

You need two batch files, scripter.bat and processor.bat.

The scripter.bat contains:

@echo off
for %%i in (*.xa) do call processor.bat "%%i"

The processor.bat contains:

@echo off
start /wait xa2wav %1 %1.wav
del %1

Save the two files either in C:\WINDOWS or C:\Windows\system32. Then, navigate to the folder where the .xa files are and run scripter.bat.

The only flaw I see is that the files are saved as [filename].xa.wav, I hope that it's no problem (if it is, I'd need to add some more code).
