   Which moronic teacher ever told you to use wildcards as for-loop variables?   
      
   It's a stupid practice, it's confusing, it confuses newbies, it makes   
   analysing code a confusing mess.   
   %* is already part of batch file syntax.   
      
   end of rant.   
      
      
   You are setting variables, and using them, within parentheses - you need to   
   use delayed expansion and the   
   !variable! syntax instead of using %variable%   
      
   That's the first thing to sort out.
