Question: Is it possible to disable/remove leading hyphen for a specific command? #87

Closed rilysh closed 1 year ago

Hello! I'm wondering if it's possible to disable or remove the leading hyphen (- or --) when using nim-argparse? For example, instead of doing mycmd --help, is it possible to parse arguments like mycmd help? Quite a stupid question, but I couldn't find a direct note on this in the docs. Although there's a test folder I wouldn't be able to sort it out.

Thank you.

If you want the available choices for an argument to be enforced by argparse, you could use subcommand with something like command("help"):

Or if you want to accept any free-form string, you can use arg("name") then read the value of name.

Does that help?

The second option seems to work for me. Thank you! Since it's solved, I'll close the issue now :)
