Use * with a batch file to get file names

I am using Windows XP and need to create a batch file to move tok.filename to filename.tok. This works for one file if I type in fix.bat tok.filename.
set filename=%1
set newname=%filename:~4,45%
ren %1 %newname%.tok
I need to type in fix.bat tok*, but this puts tok* in the filename.
How do I get it to read all the files into the filename one at a time?
Use a for statement.
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%i in (tok.*) do (
set filename=%%i
set newname=!filename:~4,45!
ren %%i !newname!.tok
)
Enabling the delayed expansion makes it so that the variables are evaluated at the time they are used.
Alternatively, since you already have a batch file that works, you could write another batch file that uses the for statement, which calls your working batch file -- like this:
for %%i in (tok.*) do call fix.bat %%i
Or you could run it directly from the command line like this:
for %i in (tok.*) do call fix.bat %i
