Trying to build up a variable based on the contents of a directory. For Java inclined, I want to add all of the *.jar files, of a given directory, to the CLASSPATH. I tried this:
set CLP=. for %%x in (C:\{some-dir}\*.jar) do set CLP=%%x;%CLP%
but it only counts the last iteration of the loop (i.e. the last file in the list).
This is not a DOS question, so you are posting on the wrong Forum; however here the solution that implues to enable the XP batch "delayed expansion of variables"
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set CLP=. for %%x in (C:\{some-dir}\*.jar) do set CLP=%%x;!CLP! EndLocal
