I was just wondering, we can do
for /f %%! in (file) do
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%! in (
'type file'
) do
But we can't do
for /f %%! in ( "C:\windows\win ooooows" ) do
for does not allow a file between quotes, is there a solution

You can't do that batch for doesn't know how to process files, they are bad mojo they don't work.
For sees a file and says forget that I don't want to. Quotes who knows what the hell those are for you bastard.
Stop talking to yourself it makes you look crazy.

Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers to?

i don't
I really wish i could do this with for
for /f %%! in ( File Name.ext ) do
but it does File &Name.ext instead of just looking for 'File Name.ext'

I don't anything about batch
Why we can't
for /f %%! in ( "C:\windows\win ooooows" ) do
but we can for /f "useback tokens=*" %%! in ("c:\windows\blow up this box\billy madison.txt")
Someone will surely have the right answer.
It makes no sense to me either.

IT WORKS !!!
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%! in ( "TST.TXT" ) do echo.%%!
I knew it, I forgot it, now I remember thanx to u.
That's not what the help says though
Code: Select all
FOR /F ["opties"] %variable IN (bestandsset) DO opdracht [opdrachtparameters]
FOR /F ["opties"] %variable IN ('tekenreeks') DO opdracht [opdrachtparam.]
FOR /F ["opties"] %variable IN (`opdracht`) DO opdracht [opdrachtparameters]
