Hello,


I come from unix, and I dont usertood why this basic script return me only the first value of the variable

Code:
set databases="TUTU,POPOP,KLKLK"
echo %databases%
for /F "delims=," %%h in (%databases%) do (echo %%h)

--> This will only return me TUTU, why ?
 
I honestly dont know why. ive been tinkering around with this for a week or so... i get the same results. ill keep trying. wish i could be more helpful.
 
Try using this from the command prompt:

C:>help for

When you see "Press any key for more..." then pressing enter only gives you 1 line at a time --and-- pressing the space bar will give you upto 25 more lines.

Note that " /F " is used for filenames.
