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.

commado – Expandable iteration on comma-separated and filename lists
The bundle provides two packages: commado and filesdo.
The package commado provides the command \DoWithCSL:
\DoWithCSL{<cmd>}{<list>} applies an existing one-parameter macro <cmd> to each item in a list <list> in which terms are separated by commas.
The package filesdo provides the command \DoWithBasesExts:
\DoWithBasesExts{<cmd>}{<bases>}{<exts>}
which runs the single parameter command <cmd> on each file whose base and extension are respectively from the comma-separated lists <bases> and <exts>.
These ‘loop’-like commands are (themselves) entirely expandable.
The packages rely on packages plainpkg, and stacklet
