[Solved] Applying a macro to all files in a directory

[harryspier]

I have a basic macro that processes a document that is opened in OpenOffice. But I have to process tens of thousands of documents. Can anyone point me to a script that opens each file in a directory, runs a macro and saves the file in another directory.

Thanks,

Here is a rough version. I check if the file name ends in ods because my desktop has all kinds of files.

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

directory = "C:\Users\fjcc\Desktop\"
newDirectory = "C:\Users\fjcc\Desktop\TargetFolder\"
file = DIR(directory)
While file <> ""
   If RIGHT(file,3) = "ods" Then
      fileURL = convertToURL(directory & file)
      oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(FileURL, "_blank", 0, Array())
      'do stuff here
      oDoc.storeAsURL(convertToURL(newDirectory & file), Array())
      oDoc.close(TRUE)
   End If
file = DIR()
WEnd

Thank you for this. That should get me going.
