Loop dos batch file

This takes the contents of one file and puts it in another. To loop through every file in a directory you need to use the following line. This code will loop through the contents of a directory and print out each file name to screen. This will also list the bat file that you put in the directory so another solution might be to run the bat file from the directory above and use the following code.
