Uwe Lück submitted the
commado
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Expandable iteration on comma-separated and filename lists License type: lppl
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
`commado.sty' provides
DoWithCSL{<cmd>}{<list>}
to apply an existing one-parameter macro <cmd> to each item in a list <list> in which items are separated by commas.
`filesdo.sty' provides
DoWithBasesExts{<cmd>}{<bases>}{<exts>}
to run <cmd>{<base>.<ext>} for some (at most) one-parameter macro <cmd>, each base filename <base> in the comma-separated list <bases> and each extension in the comma-separated list <exts>.
As opposed to LaTeX’s internal @for, no assignments are involved (unless <cmd> uses assignments, expandability in TeX’s gullet).
Both packages are generic, i.e., should work with Plain TeX, LaTeX or even other formats, relying on the `plainpkg' package for some minimal LaTeX-like behaviour.
RELATED PACKAGES: `loops' and others mentioned in the `dowith' package documentation.
KEYWORDS: macro programming, programming structures, loops, lists
REQUIRED PACKAGES: `plainpkg', `stacklet'
