batch program,forget how to !!!

when using the "FOR" command in a batch program,how do you use multiple inputs without having to manually type all of them

EX>

FOR %%i IN (001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008) DO blahblah

is there a way to tell it to go from 001-008 without all that input

i tried

FOR %%i IN (001,001,008) DO blahblah
but this only a try;s the three choices...i know this is possiable because i have done it,,,JUST FORGOT HOW I DID IT LOL....feedback please
