If you just want to process all the .dat files as templates, you can use
ttree with the '--suffix dat=html' option. This will write the output
for each .dat template to the corresponding .html file in the output
directory.
If the .dat files are data files that you want to load in and present
using a template, then you can do it using a combination of the
Directory plugin (to read the data files in the source directory) and
the redirect filter (to write the output to a new file).
Something like this:
[% USE Directory('/path/to/templates/data');
FOREACH datafile IN Directory.files;
# change file extension
outfile = datafile.replace('\.dat', '.html');
# redirect output to .html file
FILTER redirect(outfile);
# do something with data file to generate output
END;
END;
