Answer 2

FOR %A IN (list) DO command [ parameters ]

list is a list of any elements, separated by either spaces, comma's or semicolons.

command can be any internal or external command, batch file or even - in OS/2 and NT - a list of commands

parameters contains the command line parameters for command. In this example, command will be executed once for every element in list, using parameters if specified.

A special type of parameter (or even command) is %A, which will be substituded by each element from list consecutively.

From FOR loops

Answer 3

If you want to do somthing x times, you can do this:

Example (x = 200):

FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,200) DO (
  ECHO %%A
)

1,1,200 Means:

• start = 1
• increment per step = 1
• end = 200
