How to access remaining arguments in a fish script

Question

my-fish-script a b c d

You could also use read which is more readable in my opinion:

function loop
  echo $argv | read -l count command
  for i in (seq 1 $count)
    eval $command
  end
end

This works better especially when you want to use more than the first argument.

echo $argv | read -l first second rest
