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'
