How about a FOR command? Check out the KIX help. And some run commands will probably do what you want.

Let me know if I am way off base with this one :). I have a program that returns a directory listing of the files on my ReplayTV box. It looks like a fairly typical directory listing, and there are multiple file types. For instance: 1003909909.mpg 1034998099.prt etc; The files are a fixed length. What I want is to extract just the names of the .mpg files and then feed them back to a command line program that will be able to use them one at a time to download the specific mpg file. I guess I will just set an environment variable with it, then feed that variable in to the command line. It would have to loop until there were no more files and then exit. So... I get the very basics (calling the program, Opening the file, etc;) What I am not sure on is masking it so it will pull just the .mpg files, and how I need to make the loop so it will finish when there are no more .mpg names. Any ideas? I 'm going to play with it and see what I come up with, but a pointer in the right direction would be great.
