China DOS Union

In the help for the for command, the explanation for delims is as follows:

delims=xxx - Specifies a delimiter set. This replaces the
default delimiter set of spaces and tabs.


If I need the default delimiter set, but also want to add other delimiters, how can I do that?

Actually, the above question can also be understood as: how do I input a “tab”!
Because as long as I can input a tab, I can keep the original delimiter set.

Doesn't anyone know what the Tab key on the keyboard is for? Who knows?

for /f "delims=a" %%a in ('dir') do echo %%a

In a batch file, brother, what you said is correct, but in DOS command-line mode, pressing the TAB key seems to have no response :(
