Add files to classpath or loops in batch files?

Question

I have this script in BASH (linux) shells script that adds all *.jar files into the classpath automatically. Is there a way to do the in window's batch file or do I have to add all the files manually?

CLASSPATH=.
for file in ./libs/*.jar; do
    CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$file
done

Thanks!

Use the forfiles command to loop over the file names.

forfiles /M .\libs\*.jar /C "cmd /c set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;@file"

Doesn't work since cmd cannot find forfiles command. I'm using Windows2K and XP. – Daniil Dec 14 '10 at 17:14
Yep, looks like its there. Obviously /M flag didn't work on for command. – Daniil Dec 14 '10 at 17:23
