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.

Unless you're going to be using some feature that only batch files support (which is rare) why not use Perl instead, it's much more powerful.
