README for the `commado' bundle

Iterate on comma-separated and filename lists

          (C) Uwe Lueck 2012/11/29

`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 <ext> 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.
