Converting Whole Folders of Files

To specify more than one file in a given conversion task be sure to use a wildcard character (the asterisk "*" or question mark "?") in the Input File(s) entry box. You will need to specify the files properly by using the "C:\INPUTPATH\*.EXT" format, where EXT is the file extension of the input files (e.g. C:\Samples\*.CSV).

Once the asterisk has been typed into the Input File(s) entry box two additional options will appear:

Option	Purpose
Save to Input Folder	The output file path will be the same as the input file path.
Do Subfolders	Search and process all files found in the folder and subfolders specified in the Input File(s) entry box.

NOTE: Both the Do Subfolders and the Save to Input Folder check boxes will only visible when the Input File(s) entry box has a wildcard character specified.

For example to convert from CSV to XLS of all the files within D:\MyXLSFiles\ and even the sub-folders you would enter the following for the Input File location:

D:\MyXLSFiles\*.CSV

When you specify multiple input files you must also specify multiple output files. 'Convert XLS' does this for you automatically by filling in the Output Files(s) entry box.

NOTE: Please review wildcards for greater flexibility in specifying what files to process.

NOTE: You may specify Date/Time fields for the output folder making it easy to sort outputs by date or time.
