Juanita is almost right. However, the alternative
is no alternative. The whole point about -of- is
that it signals to -foreach- that some smartness
will be needed: in this example, to treat the
varlist as such. -in- by contrast signals that
what follows is to be taken literally. The loop
will choke on
p03a01a-p03a01m
which will _not_ be expanded as desired. It
will be treated -- in context -- as if it were
a single varname, which it is not.
