Subject: for loop in DOS batch |
Comment: This program once worked, but under Windows 98 it won't attach a number to '%1', any ideas? :echo off
for /L %%c IN (1, 1, 10) DO call :work %%c
goto :eof
:work
del C:\Phd\Bispec\file%1.dat
goto :eof :eof

1. The lines after work lable belong in a separate batch file, called work.bat
2. The jumps to lables shouldn't have the preceding colon, only the lables themselves.
3. I don't think commas are allowed as separators inside the for-in parentheses.
In other words, I think the for statement should read as follows: :
for %%c in (1 1 10) do call work %%c
4. I've never heard of the /L switch for a for statement. Is that something new?

Reply: (edit)Thanks, all those tips worked, but if I can't use commas in the FOR statement how do I get DOS to repeat the work.bat file 100 times? Also I'm getting a sharing violation when I try to TYPE a file created by the batch program, but I'm sure it's not open elsewhere is this a known problem? Thanks again.

You are attempting to run a NT batch
in DOS. That's like trying to mix water
and oil. Forget about it and write a
new batch.
