Batch script loop

📝👩‍💻💡🔁🤔

Hey there tech enthusiasts! 👋 Are you struggling with executing a command multiple times in a batch script? 🤔 Well, you're in luck because I've got some 🆒 tips and tricks to help you out. Let's dive in!

So, you want to execute a command 100-200 times using a batch script. 📜 But wait, there's a catch! You don't want to manually copy and paste the command or create a list of 200 items. 🚫

Here's the good news: you can achieve this using the mighty 🎀 for loop in batch scripting! Let me show you how. 🌟

First, let's address the concern that the for loop expects a list of items. 💭 You don't actually need to create a list of 200 items or files. Instead, we can manipulate the loop to run a specific number of times. 💪

Here's an example of what the code would look like in JavaScript:

var i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  console.log(i);
}

🔩✨ Now, let's transform this into a batch script on Windows! Here's how you can execute a command N times:

@echo off
setlocal

set N=100

for /L %%i in (1, 1, %N%) do (
  REM Place your command here
  echo Command execution %%i
)

endlocal

Let's break it down:

1️⃣ We use the for /L loop, where %%i represents the loop variable. In our case, we iterate from 1 to N with a step of 1.

2️⃣ Replace the REM Place your command here with your desired command.

3️⃣ You can replace echo Command execution %%i with any output or action you want to associate with each iteration.

That's it! Your command will now execute N times without the need for manual repetition.

🚨✨ But wait, there's more! If you don't want an infinite loop, you can specify the number of iterations within the set N=100 line. Simply change 100 to your desired number.

Isn't that awesome? You can now streamline your batch script executions and save yourself some valuable time. ⏰⚡
