It is not clear what you mean by "in cygwin". If you run the bash shell, for example, then it indeed makes the various arguments available as $1, etc., and $# works as expected. Perhaps you should give us more detail. I would suggest including: - the script - telling us the program from which you invoke the script (bash?), and exactly how you invoke it - one or more of the command lines that do not seem to work as you expect I can assure you that I use bash and bash scripts, with arguments and fancy argument processing, all the time ...
