   It would help if you post the exact batch along with the output in the   
   same posting as you are leaving us to guess which code in which post   
   above that you are referring to.

   Line above appears to be a typo. Should be "for /d..."

   You need to use delayedexpansion to use the variables set within the FOR   
   command. However, the purpose of the :process section to eliminate the   
   need for delayed expansion but the variables should be SET within the   
   :process section.

   It is unwise to name a batch file (process.cmd) with the same name as a   
   label (:process) within the calling batch. Again, since you did not   
   include the exact code used to produce this output, all I can do is   
   guess that is the case.
