How to check batch file param number?

[ruse7013]

Hello,

What is the proper way to check for the number of command line parameters in Windows?

In Unix there is something like:

# If the number of command-line parameters
# is not 10, then do something.
if [[ $# -ne 10 ]] then
...
fi

How do we "translate" that into a Windows batch file code?

Thanks.

Hi,

1.) Seems that the Max of Parameters is 9!
2.) I think you can check it that way:

IF "%9"=="" echo lather than 9 Args

Is this what you searched?

You can have loads. Use the SHIFT command to view the ones above 10. Have a look at
