I'm sure you already guessed it but take a look. Warning you may be shocked by the sheer amount of over-priced junk on the next page!

Seriously though, what a rip off! $50 for a leather case, $30 for a cable? Consumers everywhere enjoy your iPads. I have one too but don't buy this stuff. Well I guess we really don't have a choice now. Steve Jobs I hope you are enjoying this. Soon Android will take over with their open source awesomeness and tablets will be must more common and cheaper!

Windows Command Prompt For Loop

April 6, 2010 2:52 PM

Have you ever needed to do some sort of repetitive task using the Windows command prompt? This is a cool program I really wasn't aware existed. Lets first create a text file name it myfile.txt and put in the following.

a,b,c
3,2,1

Now lets use our for loop.
for /F "eol=; tokens=2,3* delims=," %i in (myfile.txt) do @echo %i %j %k
What this does is pull the 2nd and 3rd value separated by commas from the file. Then echo's them to the screen.
 
This example isn't all that helpful but imagine putting user name and passwords in the file and doing a loop to try and brute for the NET USE password?
