Help with a simple DOS batch script?

[Wombat]

Hey guys, I'm trying to write a little batch script that passes its arguments to another program.

I want the user to be able to type <I>foo.bat -x -y blah blah blah</I> and have it call <I>bar.exe -a -b -x -y blah blah blah</I>.

I know about %1, %2, etc, but my problem is that I could have an arbitrary number of arguments. Does anybody know how I could work this?

Thanks.

IIRC, you're stuck with %1 thru %9. Perhaps this has improved with Windows, but it doesn't seem like the sort of thing MS cares much about. Sorry

This should work:

@echo off

set foo_temp=

:loop

if "%1"=="" goto :exec

set foo_temp=%foo_temp% %1

shift

goto :loop

:exec

bar.exe -a -b%foo_temp%

set foo_temp=

/me makes note of shift for future reference...
