Internal
Purpose
Allows repeated execution of a ROM-DOS command applied to a set of
files.
Syntax
FOR %%variable IN (set) DO command %%variable
Remarks
In execution, this command attaches the variable as an identifier to
each file in the set of files described. It then applies the command to
each of these identified files. The set may be an exact list of complete
file names, or a global file specification using wildcard characters.
The FOR subcommand can be used directly on the command line as
well as within a batch file. To use on the command line, substitute a
single percent (%) symbol for the double percent signs (%%).
Examples
FOR %%N IN (Q1.TXT Q2.TXT) DOPRINT %%N
Prints only the files Q1.TXT and Q2.TXT.
FOR %%N IN (*.TXT) DO PRINT %%N
Print all files, in the current default directory, with a .TXT extension.
