batch print HTML files

[MortH]

can anyone show me how to contain the dos command:

rundll32 mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "drive:\path\filename.html"

within a dos FOR loop, so as I can print all the html files in a folder with one mouse click?

the goal here is to make a bat file that sends all the html files in folder to the printer, and then
copies them to a network drive.

The basic synbatx for the for loop is as follows:

FOR /switch %variable IN (set) DO command [command-parameters]

So what you would want is something like:

FOR /F %%i IN ('dir /b *.html') DO rundll32 mshtml.dll,PrintHTML %%i

This would run a dir command on the current folder, and use each returned line and perform the defined operation after the DO operator. In your case the Printing command.

To add the copying (not move) function, you might to something like:

set origin="some path"
set dest="some other path"

for /F %%i in ('dir %origin%\*.html /b /a:-d') DO (
rundll32 mshtml.dll,PrintHTML %origin%\%%i
copy %origin%\%%i %dest%
)
