Nikos Askitas ([email protected]) and I have a command called -rcd-
that is available on the SSC:
. ssc install rcd
It's a prefix command that lets you run other Stata commands. It
cds around to as many directories as you want and runs the Stata
command.
rcd [directory_name], [verbose] [depth(integer >= 1)] [dirfilter(regular expression)] [: command]
I would think you could run -filefilter- with it by making a do-file
in one directory that will be run in all desired directories:
. rcd "C:\my_data\" , dirfilter(".progs") : do "C:\my_data\fix_files.do"
where fix_files.do is:
ldo
foreach file in `r(files)' {
filefilter `file' `file'new, from(<oldpath>) to(<newpath>)
}
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestions. I failed to mention that the do-files are
in several sub (and sub-sub) folders as well, which would make the
task more complicated.....
