Hi list,

I'm writing a batch file that will expect some arguments.  The number of
arguments can vary, however.  Like, someone may enter any of these three
things, for example:

file.bat Arg1 Username Password Date1 Date2 Date3 Date4
file.bat Arg1 Username Password Date1
file.bat Arg1 Username Password



What I want to do would essentially be:
Set Arg1=%1
Set User=%2
Set Pass=%3
Set Dates=%TheRest

Does anyone know how I can get the rest?  I know I can use %* for everything
or %[number] for a specific argument, but is there a way to grab all
arguments beyond #3 and stick them in one variable?

Thanks,

Ray at work
