New on CTAN: commado
`commado.sty' provides \DoWithCSL{<cmd>}{<list>} to apply an existing one-parameter macro <cmd> to each item in a list <list> in which items are separated by commas. `filesdo.sty' provides \DoWithBasesExts{<cmd>}{<bases>}{<exts>} to run <cmd>{<base>.<ext>} for some (at most) one-parameter macro <cmd>, each base filename <base> in the comma-separated list <bases> and each extension in the comma-separated list <exts>. As opposed to LaTeX’s internal \@for, no assignments are involved (unless <cmd> uses assignments, "expandability" in "TeX’s gullet"). Both packages are "generic," i.e., should work with Plain TeX, LaTeX or even other formats, relying on the `plainpkg' package for some minimal LaTeX-like behaviour. RELATED PACKAGES: `loops' and others mentioned in the `dowith' package documentation.

commado – Expandable iteration on comma-separated and filename lists
The bundle provides two packages: commado and filesdo.
The package commado provides the command \DoWithCSL:
\DoWithCSL{<cmd>}{<list>} applies an existing one-parameter macro <cmd> to each item in a list <list> in which terms are separated by commas.
The package filesdo provides the command \DoWithBasesExts:
\DoWithBasesExts{<cmd>}{<bases>}{<exts>}
which runs the single parameter command <cmd> on each file whose base and extension are respectively from the comma-separated lists <bases> and <exts>.
These ‘loop’-like commands are (themselves) entirely expandable.
The packages rely on packages plainpkg, and stacklet
