Or if TC will treat '%%' as just percent sign like in bat-files.

Code: Select all

cmd /k for %%n in (*.*) do @echo %%n

This would be fairly easy to implement, and it could be made available to any program, not just cmd.exe (other scripting programs, editors, etc).
When the OR symbol "|" is the first character in TC's command prompt it would modify behaviour as MVV suggests, eg:

|cmd /K @ECHO OFF&FOR /F "delims=" %%F IN (%S) DO ECHO %%F

Prior to sending the string off to the cmd.exe interpreter for parsing, TC changes all "%%" to % and expands its own internal single letter %vars.
