Works with Windows-style command line switches? #475

Closed jdlyga closed 4 years ago

jdlyga commented 5 years ago

I'd love to use Gooey as a front-end to some command line applications I regularly use. These are windows command line applications that either use windows-style forward slashes to separate arguments:

e.g. MyConsoleApplication.exe /play:c:\audio\file.mp3 /loop

or more custom approaches that uses words without dashes to separate files

e.g. MyConsoleApplication.exe play c:\audio\file.mp3 100

Gooey is great, but it primarily conforms to the Mac/Linux command line parameter format. Would it be possible to add a mode to add more flexibility to the output command line parameters?

Oh, whoa, I didn't know that was a thing, tbh. I guess I never paid much mind to how the Windows terminal flavors worked.

The variability is kind of scary, just from looking at the wiki entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface#Option_conventions_in_DOS,_Windows,_OS/2

Do you know of an authoritative source for modern Window's syntax? Or a Python library that parses it? Something like the GNU syntax docs would be super helpful in knowing the delta between the two forms.
