Windows batch FOR loop on range through command line

Question

I want to perform an operation multiple times from a command window. Common sense tells me that a FOR loop should be able to handle this. Sure enough, if I want to execute,

Answer 1

for /l %%i in (1,1,100) do echo %%i

add another % sign before i to work

Answer 2

You can use the /l tag in your statement to make it loop through a set of numbers.

eg.

C:\> FOR /l %i in (1,1,1000) DO myProg.exe

This says loop through the range, starting at 1, stepping 1 at a time, until 1000
