WshUnnamed Object

The WshUnnamed object is a read-only collection that is returned by the Unnamed property of the WshArguments object. Individual argument values are retrieved from this collection using zero-based indexes. Two of the WshArguments object's properties are filtered arguments collections — one contains the named arguments (the WshNamed object), the other contains the unnamed arguments (the WshUnnamed object). In total, this gives you 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.
