Re: vim | multiple files editing and delete question

[Tim Chase]

To do an operation on multiple files in a WinXP DOS batch:
  for %%A in (*.txt) do [command]

Just a small caveat to the reader, this works within a batch file 
by escaping the variable ("%A" in this case).  If you're running 
it from the command-line, you don't escape it, and thus use

        for %a in (*.txt) do [command using %a]

instead of

        for %%a in (*.txt) do [command using %%a]

Then again, maybe I'm among the freakish few that actually use 
for-loops at the dos-prompt. :)
