How Can I use the variables properly.. ??

hi.. can anyone help me on how to properly use the variable during substring.
here's the scenario..
when i run this script:
set orig_str=E1METRODRUG001MDIAUTOTESTFILE.TXT
set max=100
set strlen=21
echo strlen :: %strlen%
echo %orig_str%
set new_str=%orig_str:~21,100%
echo.%new_str%
the Output is: TESTFILE.TXT, which is correct.
but when i try to susbtitute the variable "strlen" and "max" to 21 and 100 i got an output, "E1METRODRUG001MDIAUTOTESTFILE.TXTstrlenmax%"
the script after substitution:
set orig_str=E1METRODRUG001MDIAUTOTESTFILE.TXT
set max=100
set strlen=21
echo.%orig_str%
set new_str=%orig_str:~%strlen%,%max%%
echo.%new_str%
..
What i want is to use variables so that i can pass values to the variable whenever i call the script.
it should look like this..
set orig_str=E1METRODRUG001MDIAUTOTESTFILE.TXT
set max=%1
set strlen=%2
echo.%orig_str%
set new_str=%orig_str:~%strlen%,%max%%
echo.%new_str%
hope u guyz can help me..
