PARSE ERROR: Argument: -r (--resolution-mm) Couldn't find delimiter for this argument! when used in Powershell on Windows 10.

Following a video from January and I typed what he typed for the -r command, and it crapped out.

PS E:\Downloads\Windows-MSVC\bin> .\arcwelder.exe -r=.1 body26568.gcode b-aw.gcode PARSE ERROR: Argument: -r (--resolution-mm) Couldn't find delimiter for this argument!

Powershell is the cmd (console) replacement that Microsoft has been heavily trying to get people over to it.

Hi @DarkAlchy, sorry for the delayed response! I was out of town last week, and am still playing catch-up!

I am familiar with powershell, but haven't tried it with ArcWelder. I use a third party argument library called TCLAP to parse the command line arguments. I will take a look at this ASAP, but for the time being, maybe try -r=0.1? Also, can you grab the version number of the arcwelder.exe binary you are using? Run `arcwelder.exe --help and the version should look something like this:

Version: 1.1.0, Branch: HEAD, BuildDate: 2021-01-24T20:19:26Z

Thanks!

The r value is irrelevant as it simply will not parse it. Version: 1.1.0, Branch: HEAD, BuildDate: 2021-01-24T20:19:26Z

@DarkAlchy, looks like an issue with TCLAP and powershell. The following form seems to work:

I will see what I can do, but I'm guessing this will require me to create an issue on the TCLAP github since it appears to be upstream. In the meanwhile, let me know if the workaround helps you out.

[DarkAlchy]

I bet so. I have seen this before many years ago where the parameter used was actually a parameter for the interpreter. I wonder if TCLAP has something internal that uses -r? It takes the long form so it is something with -r though I only used that so might be more than just that parameter too.

Thank you.

I appreciate the report, and will add a note about this in the help. I will test the other parameters too.
