Populating Array in DOS Batch Script

How can I setup an array variable in a DOS batch script? I would like to load it with a list of file names to process. I really would like to keep this as simple as possible. Thank you.

I figured it out:

set FILE_LIST=(file1.dll file2.exe file3.dll file4.dll file5.dll)

set BIN_PATH="C:\Program Files\My App Folder\bin"
set BAK_PATH="C:\Program Files\My App Folder\bin\Backups"
set DEV_PATH="C:\My Dev Path\bin\Debug"

for %%i in %FILE_LIST% do copy %BIN_PATH%\%%i %BAK_PATH%
for %%i in %FILE_LIST% do copy %DEV_PATH%\%%i %BIN_PATH%

I did something like this several years ago, so it just took some figuring out. (btw, I hate reinventing the wheel.) Now that it's posted here, hopefully others will find it useful too.

Yes you can do arrays in batch. While they aren't exactly like arrays in C or VB, you CAN do it:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set  arrayline[0]=############
set  arrayline[1]=#..........#
set  arrayline[2]=#..........#
set  arrayline[3]=#..........#
set  arrayline[4]=#..........#
set  arrayline[5]=#..........#
set  arrayline[6]=#..........#
set  arrayline[7]=#..........#
set  arrayline[8]=#..........#
set  arrayline[9]=#..........#
set arrayline[10]=#..........#
set arrayline[11]=#..........#
set arrayline[12]=############

::read it using a FOR /L statement
for /l %%n in (0,1,12) do (
echo !arrayline[%%n]!
)
pause
