FOR "SKIP"?

[Tom Del Rosso]

This page mentions a "skip" option

https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-wildcards.html#numeric

but this page doesn't mention it

https://ss64.com/nt/for.html

What's up with that?

It has a little bug in that blank lines are counted in the number of
lines to skip, whereas FOR...('command') would skip blank lines anyway.

I got to remember that.

The reason why the FOR page doesn't mention it, is probably because it
doesn't describe the options in details.

Don't you hate documents which mention things at the wrong place, and don't
mention things at the right place?

Isn't "for /?" the right place?


Standardmäßig liefert "/F" den ersten, durch ein Leerzeichen getrennten
Token von jeder Zeile in jeder Datei. Leerzeilen werden übersprungen.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

skip=n - Gibt die Anzahl der Zeilen an, die am Anfang einer
Datei übersprungen werden.

Yeah, I just forgot skip existed at some point. I think I used it once
but maybe I always overlooked it.
