Hi everyone,

I was trying to set up some scripts, and I've realized that I don't
have the slightest idea how the arguments that are passed onto a
script are named.

If I create a script named "test", which prints the arguments that are
passed onto it, how should I do? How is this variable called?

Hi,

a batch script with arguments looks like this:

Code:
```
.bra {
.ket }
.key NAME/A,LOCATION,AGE/N,MALE

echo My Name is {NAME}, I live in {LOCATION}.

if {MALE} eq YES
 echo I'm a man
else
 echo I'm a woman
endif

echo I'm {AGE} years old
```
So .key defines an argument template as known from other CLI programms.
.bra and .ket define how the arguments have to be enclosed with, when used. You don't need to use {} but can whatever you like.
