%%~Ni returns the base filename (without directory or extension) for %%i,
if %%i is the index in a FOR loop.  See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3432851/dos-bat-file-equivalent-to-unix-basename-command
for more info.  Look at the second answer down, which has a list for what
"%~xi" does for different letters x.  Apparently it's case-insensitive.
Also, the for is different in a batch file than on the command line, "%%"
versus "%", see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14509652/what-is-the-difference-between-and-in-a-cmd-file
for the reason.  (I'll just add that to the list of reasons I dislike
Windows command line.  But the main reason is I'm more used to sh/ksh/bash.)
