Batch file for loop with Varied indexing not functioning
To create a batch file with a for
loop using varied indexing, you can utilize the set /a
command to perform arithmetic operations and dynamically change the loop counter. Here's an example of a batch file that demonstrates varied indexing in a for
loop:
batch@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set startIndex=1
set endIndex=5
for /l %%i in (%startIndex%, 1, %endIndex%) do (
set /a dynamicIndex=%%i + 10
echo Loop Index: %%i, Dynamic Index: !dynamicIndex!
)
endlocal
In this example, the startIndex
and endIndex
variables define the range of the loop. The loop iterates from startIndex
to endIndex
, incrementing by 1. Inside the loop, the dynamicIndex
variable is set to %%i + 10
, providing a varied index for each iteration. The loop output displays both the loop index (%%i
) and the dynamic index (!dynamicIndex!
) for verification purposes.
Make sure to adjust the startIndex
and endIndex
variables according to your specific needs. You can modify the arithmetic operations or incorporate other variables and calculations based on your requirements.
Save the batch file with a .bat
extension and execute it to observe the output of the for
loop with varied indexing.
