If you don't know how many there are, then you need to 'shift' them - it moves them all left one, and drops the first one:

Code:
@echo off
rem Call me with loads of arguments

:top
echo %1
shift
if not "%1"=="" goto top


(shift /? for limited help)

Code:
D:\>test.bat a b
a
b

D:\>test.bat a b c d
a
b
c
d
