How to pass more than 9 parameters to batch file

Question

How can I pass more than nine parameters to bach file.
I tried another SO question How do you utilize more than 9 arguments when calling a label in a CMD batch-script?

Answer 1

Here is a simple answer: shift is the key and then loop values and assign them into variables. setup counter to indicate which variable is each parameter.

Example gets alphabets into batch file and sets them into arg1, arg2 etc variables.

batchfile test.bat example:

@echo off

set /a counter=1
:ARGLBEG
if "%1"=="" goto ARGLEND
set arg%counter%=%1
goto ARGNEXT 

:ARGNEXT
shift
set /a counter=%counter%+1
goto ARGLBEG

:ARGLEND
echo "List values."
set arg

echo "Just one value, arg9."
echo %arg9%
goto end

:end

How to use test.bat and how results looks:

test.bat A B c d e F G H i J k L M N O P Q R S t u v x y z

Results.

"List values."
arg1=A
arg10=J
arg11=k
arg12=L
arg13=M
arg14=N
arg15=O
arg16=P
arg17=Q
arg18=R
arg19=S
arg2=B
arg20=t
arg21=u
arg22=v
arg23=x
arg24=y
arg25=z
arg3=c
arg4=d
arg5=e
arg6=F
arg7=G
arg8=H
arg9=i
"Just one value, arg9."
