#4 Syntax for multiple files to extract.bat

[Fabian Fuller]

Hello. I'm trying to use extract.bat with multiple files, not wild cards, just separate file names that may be located in different folders/drives, so wild cards won't be appropriate. But, I can't seem to figure out the proper syntax Also, I have no idea how many multiple files extract.bat can accept.

This is a work-around to running extract.bat once per each file, which I found to run too slowly... at about one second per file. This slowness really becomes an issue when processing hundreds or thousands of files.

If there was a way to feed extract.bat a "file of files", such as @filenames.dat or something in that vein, that would be even better. I've seen that approach used elsewhere and there was essentially no limit to the number of files.

I am working with a download of the NLNZ Metadata Extraction Tool from about a month ago, and am using it with Windows.

Thank you,
Fabian Fuller
