SHIFT--Examples

The following batch file, MYCOPY.BAT, shows how to use the SHIFT command    
with any number of parameters. It copies a list of files to a specific
directory. The parameters are the directory name followed by any number of
filenames.

    @echo off
    rem MYCOPY.BAT copies any number of files
    rem to a directory.
    rem The command uses the following syntax:
    rem mycopy dir file1 file2 ...
    set todir=%1
    :getfile
    shift
    if "%1"=="" goto end
    copy %1 %todir%
    goto getfile
    :end
