+Batch Processing Multiple Files
+
+This example shows how to convert multiple files to markdown format in a single run. The script processes all supported files in a directory and creates corresponding markdown files.
+
+```python convert.py
+from markitdown import MarkItDown
+from openai import OpenAI
+import os
+client = OpenAI(api_key="your-api-key-here")
+md = MarkItDown(llm_client=client, llm_model="gpt-4o-2024-11-20")
+supported_extensions = ('.pptx', '.docx', '.pdf', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png')
+files_to_convert = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if f.lower().endswith(supported_extensions)]
+for file in files_to_convert:
+ print(f"\nConverting {file}...")
+ try:
+ md_file = os.path.splitext(file)[0] + '.md'
+ result = md.convert(file)
+ with open(md_file, 'w') as f:
+ f.write(result.text_content)
+
+ print(f"Successfully converted {file} to {md_file}")
+ except Exception as e:
+ print(f"Error converting {file}: {str(e)}")
+
+print("\nAll conversions completed!")
+```
+2. Place the script in the same directory as your files
+3. Install required packages: like openai
+4. Run script ```bash python convert.py ```
+
+Note that original files will remain unchanged and new markdown files are created with the same base name.
