Programming help - multiple file paths

L400ras

Got a program at work which looks in a specified folder for zip files, i would like to modify this line to "look" into two seperate folders,

is there any syntax i can put between the two paths to read from both off the same line etc,

ie c:\first folder && c:\second folder
# i do not know what language the main program is written in, but i suspect a dos based C or C++ etc

Try ; as the separator, for example the dir command:

dir c:\windows ; "c:\documents and settings"

works in DOS (the quotes are required for the 2nd folder because it contains spaces), however it depends how the program interprets the line.

What does the line look like exactly? Is it a line in a .bat or other script, or the nth line in a data file? Maybe the program can read an environment variable which specifies the folders.

thanks, nearly works. it is the nth line in a data file
