To display the total number of command line parameters, use param0 as a variable in a message box. WinBatch works like the DOS Batch language to put parameters into text. Enclosing them in percent (%) signs works in WinBatch, too.

This example is a simple one line WinBatch function that:

1. Designs a dialog box with an OK button. 

2. Specifies a title. 

3. Specifies a message. 

4. Puts varying information into the title or the message. 

5. Formats the message in more than one line. 

6. Returns a value that can indicate whether the operation has succeeded or not. 

The Message function has this form:

Message("title in quotes","message in quotes")

The actual statement used to produce this dialog box was:

Message("%param0% Parameter(s)", "The first was==> %param1%")

It produced:

The command line which produced the statement above was:

Note: Full path names were used for both the WinBatch executable file and for the WinBatch utility. Spaces separate the three parts of the command line.
