I wonder whether there is a short cut for recon-all -s Barbara -i /path_to_data/scan1.dicom -i /path_to_data/scan2.dicom ... -i /path_to_data/scan100.dicom 

Recon-all -i takes only a single file as an input. A typical user, however, has hundreds of files for a particular subject. For example, the directory Barbara may have 100 scans. Therefore, the above command is necessary to include all the scans. 

I understand that I can write loops to a text file and then copy and paste to command line. However, I wonder whether there is a simpler way to input several files or even a directory to recon-all.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Ye
