China DOS Union

In batch scripting, to make the loop stop as soon as the first matching condition is found, you can use the `goto` statement. Here's how you can modify the code:

```batch
@echo off
for %%i in (z,y,x,w,v,u,t,s,r,q,p,o,n,m,l,k,j,i,h,g,f,e,d,c) do (
if exist %%i:\ghost\winxp.gho (
set drv=%%i
goto :breakLoop REM Jump to the label to exit the loop
)
)
:breakLoop
```

The key change is adding the `goto :breakLoop` inside the `if` block to jump to the label `:breakLoop` once the first match is found, which effectively exits the loop.

Write a label externally and then use goto ~ to jump out. This is okay in general. Oh, it's under DOS... I haven't tried it. Are you talking about pure DOS? But you wrote "%%i", is it under batch processing or under DOS...

Got it, if it's under wincmd, it can be like this, using

cmd /c "@echo off &for /l %a in (1,1,5) do (if %a==2 (echo %a &exit))"

This script runs under pure DOS. I tried it and it works with %%i in DOS 7.1.

That is in the script, not in...
Haven't used DOS 7.1 x_x

Learn from the experts' experiences

for %%i in (z,y,x,w,v,u,t,s,r,q,p,o,n,m,l,k,j,i,h,g,f,e,d,c) do if exist %%i:\ghost\winxp.gho set drv=%%i && goto end

:end
echo pass
