I've learned my lesson with for, it's too amazing

Good post. Commands copied like this really ought to be explained in a special topic.

Learning FOR, its features are really powerful

Very powerful, I finally learned FOR, so happy!!

RE wandyac
for %a in (c: d: e: f do @dir %a\ | find "bytes free"
This line?
for %%a in (c: d: e: f) do (
@dir %%a\ | find "bytes free"
)
Like this?
It still doesn't execute successfully this way either

I really need to take a good look at this...
Thanks...

Duplicate post? Can't be, right?

I just tried:
for %a in (*.txt) do type %a

But if the filename contains spaces, for example:
001.txt
复件 001.txt

it can only display 001.txt, but can't display the contents of the file "复件 001.txt". How should it be modified?

for %a in (*.txt) do type "%a"
Just add double quotes around the %a at the end...
Otherwise the type command thinks they're multiple files separated by spaces...

Only in a batch file do you use %%a; for ordinary commands use %a
for %a in (c: d: e: f:) do @dir %a\ | find "bytes free"
or inside a batch file

for %%a in (c: d: e: f:) do @dir %%a\ | find "bytes free"

Many of the commands are wrong

Thanks a lot for sharing, bump~~~~~

A good thread for answering questions and clearing up confusion

Uh, how come I don't see anything new or unusual in it!?~ But I still support it!

This came from for /?, right? I was wondering why it looked so familiar. It's really hard.
