For Loop counting from 1 to n in a windows bat script
- by raoulsson
I need to run a windows command n times within a bat script file. I know how to do this in various programming languages but cannot manage to get it right on the windows command line :-(
I would expect something like either
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
// do something
}
or even this (though not entirely seriously)
1.upto(100, {
// do something
})
Thanks!
EDIT
I can write a program in java, perl, c or whatever that will generate a bat script that looks like this
for %%N in (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12) do echo %%N
and so on. Or even "better":
echo 1
echo 2
echo 3
echo 4
echo 5
echo 6
echo 7
echo 8
echo 9
echo 10
echo 11
echo 12
and then execute it... But the thing is that I need a concise way to specify a range of numbers to iterate through within the script.
Thanks!
