cmd programming batch file for loop

Question

I am new to this but I was trying to make a batch file that would copy name of the executable file in specific location , create a new folder, give it same name as file , copy the executable file in that folder and run it.

I got all this worked out but I have more than one .exe files and I was wondering how to carry out all these iterations for all the files in the location

You can use for to iterate over files:

for %%F in (*.exe) do (
  mkdir "C:\Foo\%%~nF"
  copy "%%F" "C:\Foo\%%~nF"
  "C:\Foo\%%F"
)
