[gdal-dev] Re: problem with gdaltindex

[Imran Rajjad]

I think I found a way to handle this on windows.

create a batch file and put it in the same folder of the tif files (or
any other raster). put the following lines in the batch file and run
it.
----------test.bat------
echo on
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.tif') do call gdaltindex -tileindex location test %%a
------------------------

it will run the gdaltindex for each tif file in directory, however I
still have no idea why the command line wont accept wildcard.

regards,
Imran
