Yes. But not in whole. I just think that such example is "matrioshka".
What is profit of creation of one script from another to execute it? I
was reading this news group two years. And what i am looking for? A
lot of examples refer to vbs =(

Howdy Frank. Good idea. The script in question
is a unique beast... a cmd script that creates
an awk program file, sorta tough to describe...
Correct. Is there an easy to determine the number
of elements in ARGV? (err... not sure what the
proper nomenclature is with respect to cmd scripting).
Saw some nice solutions in Prof. Timo Salmi's FAQs, but

I'm assuming that your limit is %9 because you just don't expect there
to be more. The above will go beyond %9.

I'm not sure what you mean but I think you are just showing an example
of what you think is bad programming practice.
I agree that if a carpenter repairs a broken chair leg with tape it is
bad practice; the carpenter should replace the leg or repair it with
glue. But I am not a carpenter and I cannot afford glue, so if my chair

The 'easiest' way is probably ...
for %%x in (%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) do (
if not [%%x]==[] CALL set TAG=%%TAG%% %%x
)
The documented way (see SET /? and SETLOCAL /? for more info) is ...
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%x in (%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) do (
if not [%%x]==[] set TAG=!TAG! %%x

In this case I need to start at %2, and end at %9...
%1 = a switch ie '-z'
and...
%2 = the argument for the switch -z (may contain spaces) 'foo1 foo2 ...'
my_script.cmd -z %2 to %9

If you are trying to set TAG to the argument string, then
set TAG=%*
should do.

It does not do any troubles. But how do it in the for-circle? "For"
kills all of our text-operations.

I apologise for the answers. You wanted as better. But not all
probably to make in cmd. I cannot state completely the point of view
in English. I simply consider wrong designs like the such:
@echo off
1>tmp.vbs (
Echoing vbs code here
)
cscript tmp.vbs
del tmp.vbs

2009-12-05T15:31:16Z

currently using:
set TAG=
if not [%2]==[] (set TAG=%2) else (goto :exe)
if not [%3]==[] (set TAG=%TAG% %3) else (goto :exe)
if not [%4]==[] (set TAG=%TAG% %4) else (goto :exe)
...
would rather use something like:
set TAG=
for %%x in (%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) do (
if not [%%x]==[] set TAG=%TAG% %%x

I don't have it either.
WOW64 is part of the Windows OS. Before the 64-bit OS it was another
WOW -- WOW32 I think. It is not an emulator which will host DOS. It is
the system's method of running DOS applications on the system. In it's
earlier version (WOW32?) it has been part of the OS at least since NT4.0

I am sorry I misssed the original post, I never heard of WOW64, I will have
to check it out!, we did post about emulators before but MobaLiveCD has been
updated to MobaLiveCD 2.1, it will even let you run DOS 6.22 Boot Disk images,
it is handy to test any image you want to test before you burn a disk...
