I needed a decrementing loop on the Windows command prompt, but that seems very hard from batch files without programming your own kind of while loop:
- [WayBack] Loops/For – Rosetta Code: Batch file
- [WayBack] windows – Batch script loop – Stack Overflow
PowerShell to the rescue to loop back from and including 463 down to and including 290:
PowerShell -Command "for ($i=463; $i -ge 290; $i--) { Write-Host "Value " $i}"
This outputs:
Value 463 Value 462 ... Value 291 Value 290
In a similar way, you can execute a cmd command, but then you need to be careful on how to pass parameters: the \" is important to you can have quotes within quoted strings..
PowerShell -Command "for ($i=463; $i -ge 290; $i--) { & echo \"Value $i\"}"
gives this:
Value 463 Value 462 ... Value 291 Value 290
Found out that Jira has its own markdown for issues and comments.
Alas, no: it is for adding things that are not symbols at all, and too has a “Preformatted” entry.
