Runs a specified command for each file in a set of files. You can use the for command within a batch program or directly from
the command prompt. To use for in a batch program, use the following syntax: for %%variable in (set) do command
[command-parameters] To use for from the command prompt, use the following syntax: for %variable in (set) do command
[command-parameters] Parameters %%variable or %variable Represents a replaceable parameter. The for command replaces %%variable
(or %variable) with each text string in the specified set
until the command (specified in the command-parameters) processes all
of the files. Use %%variable to carry out the for
command within a batch program. Use %variable to carry out for
from the command prompt. Variable names are case sensitive. (set) Specifies one or more files or text strings that you want to process with
the specified command. The parentheses are required. command Specifies the command that you want to carry out on each file included in
the specified set. command-parameters Specifies any parameters or switches that you want to use with the
specified command (if the specified command uses any parameters or switches). If command extensions are enabled (the default setting in
Windows 2000), additional forms of the for
command are supported. |
