   I do not know Unix but something like the following will let you, by   
   changing the cmds in FINDSTR, set a variable name which could be a   
   counter. %%~AI may also need to be changed depending on type of variable:   
      
   FOR %%F IN (%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) DO (   
   FOR %%I IN (%%F) DO ECHO %%~AI > F:\_ATTRIB.TXT   
   FINDSTR r F:\_ATTRIB.TXT && ATTRIB -R %%F || ATTRIB +R %%F   
   )
