You've got some syntax errors here.

Why don't you just try it out?

You will have to use backslashes to continue the lines if you want to
put newlines in your script (this isn't C: makefiles are line-oriented).

So no, you cannot embed comments into the middle like that.  You'll
have to use a block comment before the loop to describe what it does.
