I need to execute a command 100-200 times, and so far my research indicates that I would either have to copy/paste 100 copies of this command, OR use a `for` loop, but the `for` loop expects a list of items, hence I would need 200 files to operate on, or a list of 200 items, defeating the point.
I would rather not have to write a C program and go through the length of documenting why I had to write another program to execute my program for test purposes. Modification of my program itself is also not an option.
**So, given a command, `a`, how would I execute it `N` times via a batch script?**
*Note: I don't want an infinite loop*
For example, here is what it would look like in Javascript:
```js
var i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
console.log( i );
}
```
**What would it look like in a batch script running on Windows?**
