How to loop through comma separated string in batch?

by

This is the way I would do that: 

@echo off
set themes=Sun,Granite,Twilight
echo list = "%themes%"
for %%a in ("%themes:,=" "%") do (
   echo file name is %%a
)

That is, change Sun,Granite,Twilight by "Sun" "Granite" "Twilight" and then process each part enclosed in quotes in a regular (NO /F option) for command. This method is much simpler than an iterative for /F loop based on "delims=,".
