SET in a loop in a script is ignored

10 Oct 16 08:33:51

   From: coulon@cacas.pam.obs-nice.fr   
      
   why can't I change a variable ? If I type set/a mavar=some expression before,   
   the result comes at each ECHO line.   
      
   for /L %%a in (1, 1, 5) do (   
   (set /a myvar="2*%%a+1")   
   echo %myvar%)   
      
   Quotes don't change anything.   
      
   Regards,
