For each file in directory : launch external app

[Xancholy]

Pardon my lack of programming knowledge

Can someone please show me how to recursively run an external application for each file within a given directory.

Pseudo:

For each file in directory
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start _
("c:\myconverter\mtn -O writeable /read/only/dir/infile.avi")
next

Thanks very much

Something like this would do the trick:

Imports System.IO

For Each File As String in Directory.GetFiles("Path Here")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("App To Be Launched", "-O Writeable " & File)
Next File

Why oh why would you want to do something like that to your poor user!?!

He may be writing a utility app that wouldn't be given to anyone else (just a guess)

au contraire cherie JB. This code will populate a DGV image column with thumbnails of movies from a particular directory on async thread.

Thanks for the code.
