Batch file for/f doesn't work with all after construction

Let's say I have a simple batch file:

@ECHO off
FOR /f "tokens=3*" %%a in ("f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7") do echo %%a

I'm trying to print out f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 but all I get is f3

What's wrong with my batch file?

The solution is actually simpler.

@ECHO off
FOR /f "tokens=2*" %%a in ("f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7") do echo %%b

The solution is simple. You just need to add %%a. Now batch file should looks like this:

@ECHO off
FOR /f "tokens=3*" %%a in ("f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7") do echo %%a %%b

Where %%a - stands for third token %%b - stands for all tokens after third token.
