Forfiles question

I'm trying to use the forfiles command. I had downloaded a version of
forfiles and got it to work on my xp workstation. I tried to move the code I
wrote to a server and found the version of forfiles to be different.

On the workstation the syntax with dashes "-" worked but on the server the
syntax requires slashes not dashes. Not problem, I fixed the syntax. The
problem is I can't seem to get the command swith "/C option" to function
correctly on the server. I've checked the syntax over and over & tried many
different options. It doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas or
suggestions?

Thanks,
