[Mapserver-users] Batch raster to ecw

[Richard Greenwood]

Or use a do loop:

for %i in (*.tif) do "ecw_compress_free.exe" %i -o %~ni -nowait -c 20 
-rgb -e best

That should be all one line. The "%~ni" pulls just the file name, w/o 
extension, then ecw will add the .ecw extension for you. This and 
similar commands are documented in the Windows help system. (In "My 
Computer", Help, search for "Batch Commands").
