Actually it's not that limited (but still too limited for this purpose I guess). Windows XP/2k3 has a max command line length of 8191 characters and Win2k/NT has a limit of 2047. However, if the list of files can be provided externally it's not much of a problem. A simple .bat should do: @echo off for /F %%a in (files_to_scan.list) do clamdscan.exe %%a This example works for one filename per line. If you rather prefer to separate the filenames by some character, let's say ";" it would look like: for /F "delims=;" %%a in (files_to_scan.list) do clamdscan.exe %%a Best regards, Nico -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
