This is a command to be used inside of MS-DOS batch files to check existence of commands as preconditions before actual batch processing can be started. If the command is found, batch script continues execution. If not, a message is printed on screen, script then waits for user pressing a key and exits. An error message of the command itself is suppressed for clarity purpose. Show Sample Output

Usually the MS-DOS cmd.exe processes in the whole FOR loop as one command and expands each var like %varname% in before (except the loop var of course). This command enables expansion of other vars than only the loop var during the FOR loop. The syntax of the var to expand is then !varname! inside the FOR loop. Use command endlocal to end the setlocal command. E.g. (only works from batch files, not from commandline directly): @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion FOR %%A IN (*) DO ( set file=%%A echo !file! ) endlocal

Loops over array of a system var, splits its values and puts the values into %A, %B, %C, %D, and so on. Create array before, like set ARRAY[0]=test1,100 and set ARRAY[1]=test2,200 Be sure to replace %A, %B, etc. with %%A, %%B, etc. when using this from inside of batch files. Show Sample Output

This command loops over all indexes of the system variable array ARRAY[] and puts its content into %A. Create this array before, e.g. by set ARRAY[0]=test1 and set ARRAY[1]=test2 For using inside of a batch file, write %%A instead of %A. Show Sample Output

This is a command template for achiving the following: * loop over files --> find -name "" | while read file; do ...; done * output progress --> echo -n . * execute some command on each file and save output for later usage --> output=$() * if command failed, open subshell and echo newline --> || (echo;...;...;) * echo output of command --> echo "$output" Show Sample Output
