For Next Loop

[chomps303]

I am a unix guy, How do I do a for next loop

in Unix:

for name in `cat filename`
do
cp $name newname
done


Is it possible to do this in dos?

Thanks

If you are referring to a batch file or from the dos prompt

for %1 in ( *.* ) do type %1

works from the command prompt.

for %%1 in ( *.* ) do type %%1

works in a batch file.
