   Hello,   
      
   I have been using a batch file with a for-loop for some years and today   
   I figured out that it cannot process elements with braces.   
      
   The code:   
      
   for %%i in (%*) do (   
   	echo hallo   
    )   
      
   Alternative:   
   for %%i in ("%*") do (   
      
      
      
   The problem:   
   If arguments contain braces without spaces, the first version fails. The   
   cmd-window closes without an error message.   
      
   The alternative code fails if an argument contains spaces.   
      
      
   I have tested the two versions and I think the problem is, that Windows   
   sometimes adds quotes and sometimes not. I'm sure there is a way to   
   process all sorts of arguments but I don't have more ideas and not the   
   right key words to search for it.   
      
      
   I have tested the following but it doesn't work:   
   for %%i in ("%~*") do (   
      
      
   Could an expert kick me to the right way please?
