Hello there,
here is the command for your BAT file:

Code: Select all

for %%f in (D:\data\*.dbf) do "c:\Program Files\DBFCommander\DBFCommander.exe" -e "%%f" "D:\convert\%%~nf.csv"

Other possible options (such as delimiter, etc.) add at the end of the line.

Hi admin,

I receive this error.
Cannot open file "D:\-e" The system cannot find the file specified.

May i know what cause the issue?
Thanks

1. Please ensure that you have DBF Commander Professional edition installed at the path specified.
2. Create a text .BAT file, paste the command I've placed above, change the paths to yours. Save the file and run it.

Hi admin,

Is that means only pro version can do it ?
The free version cannot do the job?

[Admin]

Yes, only Pro version supports batch mode.

Hi Admin,

The free can do the same jobs except batch convert ? am i correct ?
Can i get a free activation code ?
Thanks in advance

[Admin]

No, Pro version have much more features and improvements besides batch mode support. Actually, Free version doesn't work properly and is not supported any more (since 2010).
