batch loop command with different variable values

Question

I'm looking for a way to exchange variable values (strings) in a batch-file while looping over a command.

varA has 4 different values and varB 18 different values

@echo off
set varA="foo"
set varB="bar"

echo %varA% and %varB%  (sample command)
pause

the goal is to loop the command 72-times (=4*18) with the different variable values. I can produce a list with all the combinations ready to use e.g.

varA="foo"
varB="bar"

varA="foo2"
varB="bar"
...

I'm guessing this is achievable in batch with a external config- or text-file, but I seem to be searching for the wrong things. Could someone point me in the right direction?

FOR %%a IN ("a" "b" ...)

I really zoned out there. You're absolutely right.

You should be able to nest a For loop inside another.

Example:

@Echo Off
Set "varA=1 2 3 4"
Set "varB=1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18"
For %%A In (%varA%) Do For %%B In (%varB%) Do Echo %%A %%B (sample command)
Pause
