title: Win batch: setting variable within nested  loop not working
body: <p>I have a long script that I have condensed to the following lines of code to illustrate the issue I am having. I have tried some suggestion by StackOverflow users to no avail, so hopefully your feedback will help me and future users. NOTE: this code works, except for setting the pdfREP nested variable.</p>
  <pre>
  SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
  set pdfREP=false
  
  for /f "tokens=1" %%a in ('dir /o /b \\path2document\*.rp?') do (
      findstr "," \\path2log\%%a > 1.log
      if not errorlevel 0 (
          :: do something
          )
      if errorlevel 0 (
          findstr /B /I "p" \\path2document\%%a > 1.log
          if errorlevel == 0 (
              set pdfREP=true
              echo RSP File: %%a >> 2.log 
          )
      )   
  )
  </pre>
  <p>Basically the issue is that in \path2document I have multiple files, and within each I look for a comma. If no comma is found then I want to know if there is a particular letter inside the file's text. If the text is found, the I am setting a previously defined variable to TRUE, instead of FALSE. However, the &quot;if errorlevel == 0&quot; can be true if different syntax (%errorlevel%==0,%errorlevel% EQU 0), and it will NOT set the variable pdfREP to TRUE. If the issue is that the variable is not set until after the loop iteration, then how can I use this variable in the rest of my code? I would like to use this variable later on, so setting it is most important. Thanks for any feedback.</p>
