5.1.7.36. SHIFT

Help of the DOS Command SHIFT

Changes the position of replaceable parameters in a batch file.:

SHIFT [/n]

If Command Extensions are enabled the SHIFT command supports the /n switch which tells the command to start shifting at the nth argument, where n may be between zero and eight. For example:

SHIFT /2

would shift %3 to %2, %4 to %3, etc. and leave %0 and %1 unaffected.
