command in batch programs or at the command prompt.

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]

Use %%variable to carry out the FOR command within a batch program. Use
%variable to carry out FOR from the command prompt.

Specifies one or more files or text strings that you want to process
with the specified command. The parentheses are required.

command

in the specified set.

command-parameters

specified command (if the specified command uses any parameters or
