FOREACH.EXE

                                                Class: UNIX

Repeat keyboard commands for a series of files or options.

NAME
    FOREACH                     Repeat commands

SYNOPSIS
    foreach [-v] <variable> list | @file

DESCRIPTION
    Foreach will repeat a series of commands substituting the current
    value of the variable during each pass. The variable is accessed by
    placing a '$' in front of the choosen letter. For example, if the
    variable if f than $f would be used in the command line.

OPTIONS
    The below list are modifiers for use with the replacement
    variable:
        :e  replaces with extension     (d:\path\file.ext -> ext)
        :h  replaces with head of path  (d:\path\file.ext -> d:\path)
        :n  replaces with name of file  (d:\path\file.ext -> file)
        :r  replaces with root of file  (d:\path\file.ext -> d:\path\file)
        :t  replaces with tail of file  (d:\path\file.ext -> file.ext)

    The use of the -v option prior to declaring the variable will enable
    the verbose mode. In this mode each command will be displayed on the
    screen prior to execution.

EXAMPLES
    foreach -v f *.c
    del $f:n.obj
    del $f:n.exe
    end

    In the above example all files that are present as .C files will
    have thier associated .OBJ and .EXE files deleted. The series of
    commands is terminated by the word end or END.

    foreach r @files
    copy $f \batch
    del $f
    end

    In this case the files to be operated upon are in the file 'files'.
    The preface of '@' on the foreach command line instructs the program
    to obtain the files list from a file.
