SOLVED: directory tree 'crawler'

[Pattern-chaser]

My request is for a utility that will execute a given command in the starting directory, and also in all sub-directories in that directory. A very simple example of usage:

Crawler "C:\Code" "Dir *.c"

Will list all C source code files in C:\Code, and in all sub-directories. This example isn't even necessary, as "Dir" will do it for you, but you can see how useful it could be when you use a more meaningful command.

Even better than having it written for me: a pointer to where someone already did it! Thanks Skwire!

You're welcome.

or save a batch file with the following content

c:
cd C:\Code
for /f "tokens=*" %%d in ('dir /ad/b/s') do dir "%%d\*.c"

The first two lines is just to ensure you are in the right subdirectory
replace
dir "%%d\*.c"
with the command of your choosing (keeping the %%d though - which is each directory - try running with echo dir "%%d\*.c" to see what the actual command will be that will be run - without doing something weird to your system!)

No download, portable (windows only though) small filesize and no malware.
