Adds the common Front Matter to all files in the folder.

Text of the Front Matter should be placed in a separate file ‘frontmatter’ with any extension in the same folder, but the ‘frontmatter’ extension must not start with the letter ‘m’ (.yaml, .toml and etc. looks good). After execution the script generates archives of source files with the extension .bak, which must be removed by hand if the execution was successful.

addfrontmatter.cmd

pushd "%~1"
if exist frontmatter.* (
      for /f "delims=*" %%A in ('dir /a-d/b "*.m*"') do (
            del /q %temp%\%%A.frontmatter
            copy frontmatter.*+%%A %temp%\%%A.frontmatter
            rename %%A %%A.bak
            move %temp%\%%A.frontmatter %%A
      )
)
