loop through

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.
