Use if FOR loops

[LIC]

#167358

I have avoided using For loops, as I have a very hard time understanding the mechanics.

Two part question.
1. I would like to run a wmic cmd agsinst a list of computers.

for /f %a in (c:pc.txt) do (wmic bios get serial number)

the output I get = the number of items in the c:pc.txt file, however the wmic output is from the local pc, not the computers in the txt.

i have read many sites/ examples, but none help solve the issue.

Please keep your answers as basic as possible- using one liners.
Please offer assistance with DOS (do not wish to confuse myself further)

2. Can you provide a good site that does NOT get so esoteric
in the usage?

thanks in advance
