WshNamed Object

The Named property of the WshArguments object returns the WshNamed object, which is a collection of arguments that have names. This collection uses the argument name as the index to retrieve individual argument values. There are three ways to access sets of command-line arguments.

You can access the entire set of arguments (those with and without names) with the WshArguments object.
You can access the arguments that have names with the WshNamed object.
You can access the arguments that have no names with the WshUnnamed object.

The following code displays the number of named and unnamed command-line arguments.
