In this scenario, though, why build a loop - you are not truly building
an array, anyways, as cmd / bat files don't truly support the concept.
If you are always merely going to hard-code the list, why bother looping
it?
You will just end up with a script that appears needlessly complex for
the task it does. By all means, learn scripting concepts by writing
scripts, but I can't see the sense in making a script you are going to
use in production, needlessly complex.
