renaming files in subdirectories with a DOS-Batch

Question

i want a BATch to check if 2 given files are in the directory + if they are change their names

so far i have gotten this:

@echo off

if exist %order.xml && %order.xml.orig goto RENAME
goto END

:RENAME
rename order.xml order.xml.old
rename order.xml.orig order.xml

:END
pause

which works just fine, but the problem is i have to copy this into each subdirectory. is there a way to let the BATch check every subfolder? everything i tryed just gave me an syntax-error

you can use for /r to walk subdirectories and execute commands on them — David Heffernan, Feb 28 '11 at 10:47

You are looking for this:

recursive renaming file names + folder names with a batch file

All it is is a for loop with a goto statement. The answer actually just renames files, not folders so should be exactly what you wanted.
