Remove BOM from XML files for the subdirs using dos2unix in Windows

Question

I have some problems with BOM symbols in a large amount of XML files nested in the subdirectories. Some of them have the BOM and I need to remove it. I can do it for the exact directory like this:

dos2unix.exe -r d:\path\to\directory

But I need something like a BAT file to remove BOM for the files in the subdirectories to save the time. How can I do this?

Sounds like you don't need a batch file, but just for /R %X in (*.xml) do dos2unix -r %X

How should I use it? Can you please write an exact example for the BAT file? – protogenoff Dec 01 '14 at 12:47
Like that - it's not a batch file but a command line. (Inside a batch file you'd use `%%X` ) – MSalters Dec 01 '14 at 12:48
Thank you. It was useful for me. – protogenoff Dec 02 '14 at 06:30
I can't run the bat file with this code. Only in a command line. – protogenoff Dec 02 '14 at 06:46
