I am not very keen with batch file nor with cmd command lines but I'm at the edge where I need to use them. For instance, I'm going to need to write something as follows (but in javascript):
for(var i=0, i>100,i ){
console.log("Extract this (" i ").extension");
console.log("Exit if error");
}
...or something like that
here's the actual thing I made. (Please pardon for being noob on this)
@echo off
set x=0
:loop
set /a x=x 1
powershell -command "Expand-Archive -Force '%~dp0zip (" and %x% and ").zip' '%~dp0\extracted'"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
goto loop
My aim is to extract these files:
zip (1).zip
zip (2).zip
zip (3).zip
zip (4).zip
zip (5).zip
zip (6).zip
...
into /extracted using a batch file.
Please help me out, I'm begging you. Haha~

Eventually, @Stephan and @Mofi with their contribution, corrected my implementation into this:
@echo off
set x=1
:loop
set /a x=x 1
powershell -command "Expand-Archive -Force '%~dp0zip (%x%).zip' '%~dp0\extracted'"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b %errorlevel%
goto loop
and it worked like magic. If there's a better and shorter way to achieve the end goal, I'd gladly check it out and try.

I'm going to keep talking about powershell.
This link
gives this example, which in my opinion is less gibberish than batch.
Get-ChildItem 'path to folder' -Filter *.zip | Expand-Archive -DestinationPath 'path to extract' -Force
Just like batch, you paste this line into a .ps1 file. You can use the old school powershell ISE editor or Visual Studio Code
I've done many years of batch in the past and I was glad to see the end of it.
The only thing this doesn't do it increment the i variable but that isn't really used in your code (unless you specifically want to force a stop after 100 files)
