I have several .tex files in different folders. The files are named: name10.tex, name20.tex, ..., name200.tex and the folders: 10, 20, ..., 200, i.e. file name25.tex is in folder 25 and file name60.tex is in folder 60. I want to automatically convert all these tex files to pdf files at the same time.
How can I do this?
I am using TeXStudio/MiKTeX on Windows 10.
I solved the problem using a batch script (as @Inquisitive Lurker recommended):
cmd path to (main) folder
for /l %i in (10,10,200) do pdflatex %i\name%i.tex
for /D %s in (path\to\main\directory\*) do pdflatex %s\name%~nxs.tex(this code is likely wrong, I can't test it right now). Just figure out what commands you need to compile one file, and the rest is more suited for Stack Overflow or SuperUser.
