Maybe everyone knows, for those who don't know, let's learn.

It can also be used in other places.

::Without variable delay  can also calculate

@echo off

for /f %%a in ('dir/b') do call :num_add file_num

echo There are %file_num% files (folders) in the directory.

pause

goto :eof



:num_add

　set/a %1+=1

　goto :eof

I don't know, learning.

Orz ……

This is also the role of call

(for /f %i in ('dir /b') do set /a n+=1 >nul)&call echo There are %n% files(folders) under the directory

The usage seen on the 4th floor is another new one I've encountered.

This is no different from the original poster's, just simplified a bit

But I'm a newbie, and I find such usage a bit strange and not very used to it. Still, I need to learn more from you all.

This kind of thing can't replace the delayed variable. They all display the final effect after completely ending a for + set loop, and can't use intermediate links at all. The role of the delayed variable is to use the intermediate results of set.

@echo off

for /f %%a in ('dir/b') do (

call :num_add file_num

echo %file_num%

)

echo There are %file_num% files (folders) in the directory.

pause

goto :eof



:num_add

　set/a %1+=1

　goto :eof

@echo off

for /f %%i in ('dir /b') do (

	set /a n+=1 >nul

	echo %n%

)

echo There are %n% files (folders) in the directory

pause

The above two are the same as the building owner and the above ppdos code, and can't use intermediate results.

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f %%i in ('dir /b') do (

	set /a n+=1 >nul

	echo !n!

)

echo %n%

pause

You can compare the results.

If you want to use the intermediate result, it's also okay.

(for /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir /b') do set /a n+=1 >nul&call set _%n%=%i >nul)&call echo There are %n% files(folders) in the directory

echo %_9%

This is a clever way. It uses consecutive multi-variable assignments respectively to obtain the value of one of the intermediate variables, rather than directly obtaining it through true consecutive assignment/intermediate links. It defines n variables to stepize the entire for loop, and these stepized results can only be used after the entire loop ends.

Can the expert give an example?

Have everyone been talking for a long time and not realized that they are discussing around a very non-typical example? Doesn't anyone know that set /a has the default delay effect? The example of the LZ completely doesn't need variable delay or "intermediate results" and so on.

@echo off

for /f %%a in ('dir/b') do set /a file_num+=1

echo There are %file_num% files (folders) under the directory %cd%.

- Just a beginner

Your approach is to obtain each step by "changing variables", which is to generate n different variables at one time. These variables can only be used after the for command has completely executed. This is what I call taking a shortcut. While delayed expansion allows using variables during the execution of the for command.

@echo off

for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b') do (

set /a n+=1 >nul

call set _%n%=%%i >nul

rem This sentence is actually problematic. Before the for is completed, %n% is empty, so all are setting the value of the _ variable

echo %n%

echo %_%

echo %_1%

rem The above 3 sentences are added by myself to verify whether the variables in the loop can be used

)

echo\

echo\

echo\

::New line

::By this point, the entire loop has ended, and the variables %n% and %_% take effect

echo %_%

echo %n%

echo %_1%

::Verify that the %_1% variable does not exist

echo\

echo\

echo\

::New line

::The above 3 sentences are added by myself to verify whether the variables in the loop can be used

call echo There are %n% files(folders) in the directory

pause

Brother metoo's remarks on floor 9 are a bit thoughtless.

In the DOS era without variable delay, it is also possible to "assign continuously / directly obtain in the intermediate link".

This only needs to make some small changes to the :num_add section that is called.
And the scheme of using for + call instead of for + delay usually transfers all the loop body code to the called subroutine, and there are no restrictions inside the subroutine, where you can use it as you like.
