Broken For and nested Do

[jbanaszczyk]

/me again

Please help how to solve this issue.

TCC/LE 13.06 and TCC 17:

Simple For loop:

*For /l x in (1,1,3) do (
   *echo FOR
)

Works fine.

Simple Do loop:

*Do 5
   *echo DO
*EndDo

Works fine.

Mixed together:

*For /l x in (1,1,3) do (
   *echo FOR
   *Do 5
     *echo DO
   *EndDo
)

The result is

FOR

while I expected 18 lines.

Of course - real case is not so simple. I need For loop due to For /R switch (I can't find similar Do loop).

Best regards.

A FOR is a single-line statement (the lines are all appended before the command is executed). A DO (unless you're using the single-line DO syntax, which you are not) is always a multiline statement.

So if you're going to embed a DO in a FOR, use the single-line DO syntax. Otherwise, a (much) better idea is to replace FOR /R with DO /S (possibly combined with /D depending on what you're trying to do).
