Subject: [shell] shift generates errors with no command-line options
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 14:47:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7236196A5DF6C040855A6D96F556A53F410F1F@msmail.insydesw.com.tw> (raw)

In a script that looks like this:

:start
if not %1 == "" then
  echo %1
  shift
  goto start
endif

'shift' will generate an error message. The spec doesn't describe any behavior like this and it is annoying to write scripts that must avoid it.

Of course you can work around it...

Tim
