loop through

( vt.)

   To  process  each  element of a list of things. "Hold on, I've got to
   loop  through  my  paper  mail."  Derives  from the computer-language
   notion of an iterative loop; compare cdr down (under {cdr}), which is
   less common among C and Unix programmers. ITS hackers used to say IRP
   over  after  an  obscure pseudo-op in the MIDAS PDP-10 assembler (the
   same IRP op can nowadays be found in Microsoft's assembler).
