Run many commands in a loop, inserting a counter variable with sfk runloop for windows and linux (free open source).

- download the free swiss file knife base from sourceforge.
- unpack the tool using winzip or unzip.
- open the Windows Command Line or a Linux shell.

sfk runloop ifrom ito "your command $[digits]i" [-yes] [-nohead] [-quiet]
sfk runloop ifrom -steps=n [-inc=i] "your command $[digits]i"
sfk printloop ifrom ito "your text $[digits]i"

    run a self-defined command many times, or simply print text to
    the console, with a counter starting at ifrom, running until ito,
    or running n times if -steps=n is specified.

    with runloop, execution of commands is just simulated by default,
    so nothing happens. as soon as your command is looking well, add
    option "-yes" to really execute.

    options
       -inc=i    increment step counter by i instead of 1.
       -spat     support slashpatterns like \t \q \xnn.
       -nohead   does not display the [simulating:] info text.
                 printloop is the same as runloop -nohead.
       -quiet    does not echo the commands before execution.

    command string format
       the command string may contain $i which is replaced by the
       loop counter, or slashpatterns if option -spat is given.
       due to syntax limitations of the command shell, it may help
       - to use \q instead of \"   (avoids quote miscounting at shell)
       - to use \x26 instead of &  (if ampersand is behaving unexpected)
       $i also supports format parameters before 'i' like:
          $5i    print 5 digits, right justified, filled with blanks.
          $05i   print 5 digits, right justified, filled with zeros.
          $-5i   print 5 digits, left  justified, filled with blanks.

       sfk runloop 1 100 "copy mytest.dat testfile_$03i.dat" -yes
          creates 100 copies of mytest.dat named testfile_001.dat,
          testfile_002.dat, testfile_003.dat etc.

       sfk printloop 1 100 -spat "<a href=\qhttp://...&page=$i\q>$i</a>"
          creates html code containing 100 web links. note that \q was used
          instead of \", as '&' may create problems when combined with \"
          (a syntax mess produced by the command shell, not by sfk itself.)
          and to enable slash patterns like \q, -spat had to be added.
