 ==== echo without a new line - e.g. use "." to show progress in a loop ====
 <code cmd>
-echo | set/p=.
+echo | set /p=.
 </code>
+==== ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ====
+Use in FOR loops to get variable as it is set there (rather than a parse time) - need to use !var! rather than %var%
+Google it!
+But any scripts with a ! get messed up!
+<code cmd>
+SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
+SETLOCAL DisableDelayedExpansion
