Hi all, Running Oracle 9.2 on Windows. I know this is Oracle forum, but it's somewhat related. This question is for those of you who run Oracle on Windows. I have several ".txt" files in a directory (all different names) and looking for the possibility to do the following using .BAT file: 1. Take first file 2. rename it 3. run procedure (pass it in) 4. move it into archive dir 5. delete it from original dir 6. GOTO 1 Reason I have to do all this is because in step 3 I am using external table to read the ".txt" file and it has to have a unique file name.
