for %a in (host1 host2 host3) do Ping %a
The same, but reading from file instead:
for /F %a in (hosts.txt) do Ping %a
Now, getting the list dynamically from another command's output:
for /F %a in ('dir /b "D:\my videos"') do ffmpeg %a --title %a
If your file contains spaces, then this amend would be required:
for /F "tokens=* delims=," %a in (movies.txt) do vlc %a
