Example

Lets say that we have a application that has command line options to install and run as a console

  using myoddweb.commandlineparser;

  private void Bar()
  {
    ...
    var arguments = new CommandlineParser(args, new Dictionary<string, CommandlineData>
    {
      { "config", new ArgumentData{ IsRequired = false, DefaultValue = "config.json"}},
      { "install", new ArgumentData{ IsRequired = false} },
      { "console", new ArgumentData{ IsRequired = false} }
    });
    ...
  }

We can then check if we are running as a console

      if (arguments.IsSet("console"))
      {
        InvokeActionInstall();
        return;
      }

We can also call the config value as we know it exists... (we have a default value)

    ...
    var config = _arguments["config"];
    ...

We can also get a default value directly

For example, in the example below, we will either get the number that was passed, (example.exe --a 32), or the default value.

The value itself will be an integer, as this is what we expect...

    ...
    var theGalaxy = parser.Get<int>("a", 42)
    ...

The argument does not have to have a value, for example you could have example.exe --a --b

In that case you would simply defaule

    ...
    var arguments = new CommandlineParser(args, null );
    ...

What if you want a different leading pattern ...? Something like example.exe -a -b

Simply pass it as a third argument ...

    ...
    var arguments = new CommandlineParser(args, null, "-" );
    ...
