   The below is a basic example of how to implement a counter.  I'm sure that   
   with a bit of work you will be able to incoorporate it into your own batch.   
   :-)   
      
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   
   setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION   
   set COUNT=0   
      
   for %%v in (a b c d) do (   
     set /A COUNT=!COUNT! + 1   
     echo Count = !COUNT!   
   )   
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   
      
   By the way : not my work, I just found it on the web somewhere and have kept   
   it for future usage.
