Question : Batch file syntax for "For" command

Hi,

I think this is simple for a batch file guru...
i have a batchfile where i add a computer name as the %1 variable after the filename like this:
Batchfile.bat Computername
Instead of computername, I want to have a list of computers to run this batch on..
computers are in a file called thelist.txt.  batchfile.bat will vary, but something like

psexec.exe \\%1 -s msiexec.exe /x {guid}

so instead of one computer being listed as the %1 variable, I have a list of them in thelist.txt
and I would like the syntax to use for that, I'm assuming I guess that it will use the FOR command.
I hope that makes sense...    Thanks !!!!

Answer : Batch file syntax for "For" command

I think in that case you could get away with something like this.

for /F "tokens=1" %%h IN (thelist.txt) Do psexec.exe \\%%h -s msiexec.exe /x {guid}
pause
