Check this out:
Code: Select all
C:\PROFSYS\ADMIN>for /f
Meer?
De syntaxis van de opdracht is onjuist.
C:\PROFSYS\ADMIN>
Explain that !
More ?, More what Mr. DOS

@Cleptography Why are u teasing me ? I'm trying to get a serious response here get your *** of my thread !
more command like continue on with "tokens
Not logical ! I still don't understand it. Please @Cleptography I am not kidding !
Code: Select all
c:\>for /f
More? ^^^
More? %%%%%^^^
More?
More?
^%%%%^
What is going on !, You've confused me even more now thanks
I am just wondering, why does for /f <ENTER> causes dos to ask me more ? More what
This I would understand:
because of the line continuation, but I didn't line continue ?!

Ok I see what is going on here, as expected the command is asking for more input try this.
Code: Select all
c:\>for /f
More? ^%a in ("str") do @echo.%a
str
Add a space at the more line then the ^ followed by the rest of the command.
This continues processing. The space before ^%a represents the space that would happen if we for /f %a
I am still puzzled as to why for /d does not respond the same way.

I get it, I really ain't used using the terminal directly, but now it all makes sense.
