[FWTools] Python "batch" processing

[Matt Wilkie]

The short answer is that python can do anything batch files can do, and 
more. That doesn't necessarily mean it's easier though, depends on what 
you know and how much time you have to learn.


--- print-csv.py ---
# print contents of each csv file in temp
import glob
for file in glob.glob('d:/temp/*.csv'):
     f = open(file)
     for line in f:
         print line
