process manipulation problem

[weblover]

hello all ,

i'm new to C# and i have a problem, i created a program that categorize my files into folders and subfolders.

and i want to run a script test.bat that will run a python script to the files with extension .gb in the subfolders and this script will create a txt file containing the result for all the .gb files in the subfolder where the script is found,

so i placed a copy of test.bat inside each folder and subfolder and i saved the path of each one in a list ,

and after this i tried to loop the list of paths and run the script .

but it's not running as wanted , because all the txt files are created in the first folder with wrong results , but when i go to the folders and run the test.bat manually it gives the wanted results , but in the program , it's not working

soo i need your help plz

that's my code

Process pr = new Process();
pr.StartInfo.FileName = list[i];
pr.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(list[i]);
pr.Start();
