Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your email. It has answered a lot of the queries I had. Going \
forward, I think I may be able to wrap this all up in a PowerShell script to enable \
the removal of the original files and the required error checking. Most likely I will \
create a temp csv from the contents of the folder, process each file, check that \
there is an .txt and .asc of each file present and then move the .asc files to the \
required outbound folder and then move the unencrypted file to and archive on  \
separate fileserver. I can move forward with this because of your email. 

Many Thanks for your assistance!!!!

Kind Regards

This is an extra convenience added by the GUI program. It is not in the command line \
interface.

The simplest way is to follow this by
> del C:\Location\*.txt

but this introduces a race condition. So it's probably better to do something like

for x in C:\Location\*.txt
gpg2 ... --encrypt $x
del $x
next

However, it's been many years since I last did anything with MS-DOS/Windows batch \
files and I don't have the correct syntax ready. It needs to bail out when gpg2 \
errors, but that is way beyond my limited recollection of batch files.

Oh, and when building a gpg command line, you're supposed to put options before the \
command. However, it does try to cope with people putting options after the command. \
(And in the quote above, my e-mail client ended up putting an en-dash where there \
should be two ascii dashes, which kinda spoils the didactic value.) I'd suggest the \
following command line:

> gpg2 --batch --recipient XX --armour --encrypt-files C:\Location\*.txt

I see you're mailing from a .UK address, so I thought I could point out armour can be \
spelled with British spelling as well :-). --armor works just as well.

HTH,

Peter.
