Batch Script Iterative form

I have a batch script which :

if both of the above statement is true then generate a success file.

Below is my code which is working fine:

SET /A file1=file2=Val=0
SET /A FileE=1
set /a flagname=1

for %%A in (*ABC*.txt) do set /a file1+=1
for %%A in (*XYZ*.txt) do set /a file2+=1

for %%i in ("*") do if exist "Processed%%~nxi" SET /A FileE=0

SET /A Val=%file1%*%file2%*%FileE%

if %Val% EQU 1 (
echo SUCESS>Sucess.txt
SET Flag=Sucess
echo %Flag%) else (

if %file1% EQU 0 ( echo Missing ABC.txt files >> Error.txt)
if %file1% GTR 1 ( echo More than 1 ABC.txt files >> Error.txt)

if %file2% EQU 0 ( echo Missing XYZ.txt files >> Error.txt)
if %file2% GTR 1 ( echo More than 1 XYZ.txt files >> Error.txt)

(for %%i in ("*") do if exist "Processed%%~nxi" echo(File Exists in
Processed
Folder %%~i)>>Error.txt
SET Flag=FAILURE
echo %Flag%)


My problem is how to transform above code to iterate over a list of number of files like 100 ? Below is the code which I tried :

@echo off
setlocal enable delayed expansion
Set Filen[0]=ABC*.txt
Set Filen[1]=XYZ*.txt
SET /A Val=1
SET /A File1=0

FOR /l %%G in (0,1,1) Do (
echo !Filen[%%G]! hi
set File1=0
echo %file1% Count
for %%A in (!Filen[%%G]! ) do (
set File1=!File1!+1
echo %%A %file1%)
)


@If Exist "Processed" For %%A In ("*ABC*.txt" "*XYZ*.txt") Do @If Exist "Processed%%A" (>>"error.txt" @Echo %%A) Else >>"success.txt" @Echo %%A

error.txt

.Processed

success.txt

.Processed

Put your search words in a string and iterate over it:

Set "Search=ABC DEF XYZ"
For %%A in (%Search%) do (


Or in a file and read one by one

For /f "usebackq" %%A in ("Search.txt") Do (


With this file Search.txt

ABC
DEF
XYZ


In the environment

> tree a: /F
Auflistung der Ordnerpfade für Volume RamDisk
A:
└───Test
│ ABC_123.txt
│ DEF_456.txt
│ Search.txt
│
└───Processed


The following batch

:: Q:Test201871SO_51120147.cmd
@Echo off & Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set "BaseDir=A:Test"
Set Err=^>^> "Error.txt" Call Echo=[%%date%% %%time%%]
PushD "%BaseDir%" || (%Err% can't locate %BaseDir% & Pause &Goto :Eof)
%Err% Job %~f0 started by %USERNAME%
Set " Flag=Sucess"
:: Uncomment for string variant
:: Set "Search=ABC DEF XYZ"
:: For %%A in (%Search%) do (

:: use the file variant
For /f "usebackq" %%A in ("Search.txt") Do (
Set Cnt=0
For %%B in (%%A*.txt) Do Set /A Cnt=1
if !Cnt! NEQ 1 (
%Err% Count of %%A*.txt file=[!Cnt!]
SET Flag=FAILURE
)
)
For %%A in (*) do if exist "Processed%%~nxA" (
%Err% File %%A does exist in Processed Folder
Set Flag=FAILURE
)
%Err% Job %~f0 terminated with %Flag%


Yields this output:

> type A:TestError.txt
[2018-07-01 13:10:34,43] Job Q:Test201871SO_51120147.cmd started by LotPings
[2018-07-01 13:10:34,45] Count of XYZ*.txt file=[0]
[2018-07-01 13:10:34,47] Job Q:Test201871SO_51120147.cmd terminated with FAILURE


EDIT: Explanation of the somehow tricky line:

Set Err=^>^> "Error.txt" Call Echo=[%%date%% %%time%%]


To not have to pre/append every line which should go to the error log with
the redirection and a (fixed) file name I put these together with the
echo command and a [date time] stamp into a variable.

To avoid immediate interpretation when setting the variable, the '>' have to
be esaped with a caret, and to delay the expansion of the %-signs these have
to be doubled. (otherwise each log entry had the same date time)

To force expansion of date time when echoing the (pseudo) call is neccessary.
