   Dynamic Setting of variable based on Fol

   Hi all   
      
   I suppose it sounds like a simple matter but for someone who has not   
   done this in ages I am struggling.   
      
   I have a directory structure on a remote server   
      
   X:\A\B\w.txt   
   X:\A\C\x.txt   
   X:\A\D\y.txt   
   X:\A\E\z.txt   
      
   Ok i can xcopy the Base folder eg xcopy x:\A /S to re-create the   
   folder structure locally and the /S will ensure that only folders with   
   content will be copied   
      
   I need to then go to each folder note the folder name as a var and the   
   process the file in the folder   
      
   I have written the code to get the folder and file name but here is   
   where I hit a major hump   
      
   It only processes the last folder unless I specify a folder name   
   manually   
      
   I need the code to go to first folder, set folderName to name of   
   folder and then get file inside   
      
   Once I have folder and file name I can pass to sub routine that   
   processes   
      
   Once that is ran the process should then go to the next folder and run   
   again replacing the folder name with the next in line   
      
   So basically go to A   
   Set folderName = B   
   Set filename = w.txt   
      
   process in sub routine   
      
   go to A   
   Set folderName = C   
   Set filename = x.txt   
      
   process etc etc   
      
   Any help existing code would be very gratefuly received
