*NIX getopt alike for DOS

I want to write a DOS script with multiple optional option flags. I have to parse these optional options.



An example:



get_resolution.bat /?
get_resolution.bat /h input.jpg
get_resoltion.bat /v input.jpg


Under *NIX this can be done with getopts.



The same examples under *nix:



get_resolution -?
get_resolution -h input.jpg
get_resolution -v input.jpg


In the *nix script txt file get_resolution one would then write:



while getopts ?hv flag  
do
case $flag in
?) man get_resolution
h) get_horizontal_resolution $1
v) get_vertical_resolution $1 ;;
esac
done


Does there exist a DOS equivalent for the *nix getopts?

In batch scripts all arguments are stored in variable %*. Each argument can accessed by variable %1 for the first argument, and %2 for the second and so on. You can handle the arguments like this until %9.



More elegant argument handling requires the use of shift-command.



Take a look this Stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14286457/using-parameters-in-batch-files-at-windows-command-line



It has more information about handling arguments in batch scripts.
