How do I do this with a multiple-line DO?

[vefatica]

From the command line ...

v:\> do line in /p `wmic /Node:"zz" path win32_groupuser where (groupcomponent="win32_group.name=\"administrators\",domain=\"zz\"")` ( echo %line )
GroupComponent                                 PartComponent
win32_group.domain="zz",name="administrators"  \\ZZ\root\cimv2:Win32_UserAccount.Domain="zz",Name="Administrator"
win32_group.domain="zz",name="administrators"  \\ZZ\root\cimv2:Win32_UserAccount.Domain="zz",Name="vefatica"
win32_group.domain="zz",name="administrators"  \\ZZ\root\cimv2:Win32_SystemAccount.Domain="ZZ",Name="NETWORK SERVICE"
win32_group.domain="zz",name="administrators"  \\ZZ\root\cimv2:Win32_SystemAccount.Domain="ZZ",Name="LOCAL SERVICE"

In a BTM ...

v:\> type wmictest.btm
do line in /p `wmic /Node:"zz" path win32_groupuser where (groupcomponent="win32_group.name=\"administrators\",domain=\"zz\"")`
        echo %line
enddo

v:\> wmictest.btm
Invalid WHERE Syntax.
ECHO is OFF
TCC: V:\wmictest.btm [3]  Unknown command "enddo"

How do I get the multi-line version to work in a BTM?

I put the command into a variable then expand the variable in the DO.

set wm=wmic /Node:"zz" path win32_groupuser where (groupcomponent="win32_group.name=\"administrators\",domain=\"zz\"")
do line in /p %[wm]

Yeah, but why is any masaging needed?

My guess is the parser isn't handling the parens correctly.

The single back quotes are removed before DO is called.

DO is then looking for a trailing command group, and it finds one starting with "(groupcomponent=…" Your line works with the single-line DO because you have *another* trailing command group to satisfy DO.

Is there a way to make it work?

Sure; I can drop support for single-line DO's. Otherwise, no.

Scott's solution works well enough.
