filenameset is one or more file names. Each file is opened, read
and processed before going on to the next file in filenameset.
Processing consists of reading in the file, breaking it up into
individual lines of text and then parsing each line into zero or
more tokens.If you need more info on for loops, type 'for /?' in cmd, to get a 3 page explanation on the different types and how they work.
