Maria,

I see your point here. I came across the very same problem during my
last project. Besides, I copied the routine into several cells, each
enclosed with With[] statement, where I set some constants - which was
in fact the only difference between the routines...
Since I had to process files,that eventually generated other files as
their output, I wrote a function processFile[file_String] that did that
for one file and then used  FileNames[] to create a list conatining all
files to be processed. I mapped processFile[] over that list, like:

processFile[name_String] := Module[{N, n, M, q, p,str},
p = 1; {N, n, M} = ToExpression /@ Take[StringSplit[name,
        {"N", "n", "M", "."}], 3];
str = StringSplit[Import[name, "Text"]];
q = ToExpression[str[[2]]];
 ]

processFile/@FileNames["*.dat"]

or something like that.

Hope that helps, although its not quite the same as what you're actually
looking for.
