KuiperZone.Utility.Yaap 1.0.1

Yaap

Yaap is yet another argument parser for C# .NET. It is licensed as GPL-3.0-or-later.

SEE CLASS: KuiperZone.Utility.ArgumentParser

Argument keys are to be prefixed with '-' or "--", as shown by the following command line example:

APP value -size=100 --filename "Dir/Folder/File Name" --debug.

There is no distinction between "-" or "--". The "value" is a floating value. All other items are treated as key-value pairs. Above, the "debug" flag will be interpreted as the key-value pair: -debug=True.

Usage 1:

public static int Main(string[] args)
{
    // With array construction
    var parser = new KuiperZone.Utility.ArgumentParser(args);

    Console.WriteLine("VALUE: " + parser.Value);

    if (parser.GetOrDefault("v", false) || parser.GetOrDefault("version", false))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("1.0.0");
        return 0;
    }
}

Usage 2:

// With string construction
var parser = new KuiperZone.Utility.ArgumentParser("value -size=100 -filename \"Dir/Folder/File Name\" --debug");

// Indexer also available
Console.WriteLine(parser["filename"]);
