Using Windows 7, I want to write a wrapper for some command line tools to simplify their usage. Say I regularly use this executable with following options

someTool.exe -i infile -a option1 -b option2

I want to create a wrapper that executes the above command & options, and additionally accept more options (any number of options). So running this:

someToolWrapper.exe -c option3

would effectively run

someTool.exe -i infile -a option1 -b option2 -c option3

P.S. Preferably accomplish this with batch files or cygwin commands & be robust / versatile. I usually end up with brittle batch files that fail on edge cases.

    I would do this using Powershell.

    %* instead of %1 would make it generic (allows variable number of options)
