'Simple' command script assistance :)

As an example that I can use for another project, how do I get:

Code:

@echo off
set example="one a" "two b" "three c" "four d" "five e"
for /f "delims=" %%G in ('%example%') do (echo %%G)
pause

Such that it returns:
one a
two b
three c
four d
five e

or
"one a"
"two b"
"three c"
"four d"
"five e"

Of course, then displaying the pause command. That was there if running the script in Windows so it doesn't exit on you!

Either of the above is fine for the intended purpose

Thanks!

 

I worked it out... with help of Google

The above works as:

Code:

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set example="one a";"two b";"three c";"four d";"five e"

call :start example
goto :eof

:start
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=;" %%a in ("!%1!") do (set %1=%%b&echo %%a)
if "!%1!" neq "" goto :start

pause

outputting:

(then of course, the pause prompt since that was stated)
