myScript.vbs /c:"WSH is a wonderful thing" /s:"scripts are wonderful"

Next, add the following VBScript code.

For i = 0 to WScript.Arguments.Count-1
    WScript.Echo WScript.Arguments.Named(i)
next i

Following is the result.

WSH is a wonderful thing
scripts are wonderful

Example (WshUnnamed)

The following example demonstrates the Count method using the WshUnnamed object. Begin by typing the following text at the command line.

myscript.vbs "WSH is a wonderful thing" "scripts are wonderful"

Next, add the following VBScript code.

For i = 0 to WScript.Arguments.Count-1
    WScript.Echo WScript.Arguments.Unnamed(i)
next i

Following is the result.
