I've seen several questions asking how to convert .tab files to .shp files in QGIS, MapInfo etc, which is what I'd like to do. However I have several files and I was wondering if there was a tool available to do a batch convert of several files in a folder from .tab to .shp?
I've had a look around but not found an answer, apologies if this is a duplicate, if so feel free to just point me in the right direction.

If would use ogr2ogr.
