- Parameters to a script are %1 to %9
- %0 is the call and should contain the script name
- %10 does not exist
- %* "is" all parameters, even if there are 15
- if you want to have more than 9 parameters, google for shift or use something like
FOR %%A IN (%*) DO ( echo xxx %%A xxx )
Output:
>test 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 x 1 x x 2 x x 3 x x 4 x x 5 x x 6 x x 7 x x 8 x x 9 x x 10 x x 11 x x 12 x x 13 x
test for parameters
@echo off if [%1]==[] ( echo Parameter 1 missing! ) else ( echo Paramater 1 found: %1 )
- '[' and ']' around "%1" are just for the case it is empty. You can use anything you want:
if xx%1xx==xxxx (
- you need a space between "[]" and '(' in the if condition
- the "(" must be on the same line as the if
- the ") else (" can not be on different lines
