SHIFT
Allows use of more than 10 parameters within a batch file.
COMMAND TYPE: Internal (batch) VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: SHIFT
When more than one replaceable parameter is used, SHIFT will shift the
parameter list one position to the left.
EXAMPLE: Assume that there is a batch file called COPYFILE.BAT that
copies files from one drive to another. Also assume that it uses 4
replaceable parameters, %0, %1, %2, and %3. If you invoke COPYFILE.BAT
using the replaceable parameters:
COPYFILE *.DAT *.EXE *.COM *.BAT
then %0 equals *.DAT, %1 equals *.EXE, %2 equals *.COM, and %3 equals
*.BAT. After a SHIFT command is issued, the list of parameters will shift
one to the left and, %0 will equal *.EXE, %1 will equal *.COM, and %2 will
equal *.BAT.
