Batch script for/if not looping

[Valerie]

Win XP SP.3

Why does the For loop in the following script not loop please?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cls

set year=9
set month=8
set day=25
set cnt=1

for /f "tokens=%cnt%" %%1 in ("year month day") do (
    if !%%1! lss 10 set %%1=0!%%1!
        set /a cnt+=1
)
echo !year!:!month!:!day!
exit /b

Because there is only one line being fed into the for loop. It does the action(s) for each line it is fed.

See the lines in red

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
cls

set year=9
set month=8
set day=25
set cnt=1

:loop
for /f "tokens=%cnt%" %%1 in ("year month day") do (
   if !%%1! lss 10 set %%1=0!%%1!
   set /a cnt+=1
)
if %cnt% LSS 4 goto loop
echo !year!:!month!:!day!
