Hello programmers!!
In my application I am doing simulation from previously logged data. Logged data files are in one folder e.g Folder_A. Now I want to start as much instance of application as much files are in the Folder_A.
Previous i was passing single file to application for singel simulation. Was easy but now start as much instance of application as many files are in Folder-A. Each instance execute one of the file.
e.g. Applicaion "myapplication" need to simulate fileA and FileB at same time with two different instances.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

What I have tried:

previously i was doing with single file. it was easy one file one instance.

Just write a command / batch file that does the job:

rem Start application for each file in specific directory
echo off
for %%i in (data_file_path\*) do app_path_and_name "%%i"

Here data_file_path is the full path to your data files and app_path_and_name is the full path and name of your application. Note that these must be enclosed by double quotes when they contain spaces.

To test what would be done just insert an echo command after do:

rem Start application for each file in specific directory
echo off
for %%i in (data_file_path\*) do echo app_path_and_name "%%i"

To know about the FOR command, open a command prompt window and type
