Never been one to let the carrier drop

Since I posted a perl one. Note there’s probably some neat way to do this using system libraries that I just don’t know about, but this is what I use

As part of the class (you can have this as a class i.e. Config.cs, or as part of the program:

  static readonly Dictionary argsDict = new Dictionary();

Parser:

 static public void ArgHandler(string[] args)

        {

            foreach (string arg in args)

            {

                Regex quoteRE = new Regex(“\”(.*)\””);

                string[] quoteResults = quoteRE.Split(arg);

                string workarg;

                if (quoteResults.Length > 1)

                {

                    workarg = quoteResults[1];

                }

                else

                {

                    workarg = arg;

                }

                Regex argRE = new Regex(“–(.*)=(.*)”);

                string[] regResults = argRE.Split(workarg);

                if (regResults.Length > 1)

                {

                    Console.WriteLine(string.Format(” — {0} -> {1}”, regResults[1], regResults[2]));

                    argsDict.Add(regResults[1], regResults[2]);

                }

            }

        }

Get a argument:

     static public string GetArg(string arg)

        {

            string result = null;

            argsDict.TryGetValue(arg, out result);

            //if (debug)

            //    Console.WriteLine(“arg ” + arg + ” -> ” + result);

            return result;

        }

At the top of main(), call:

ArgHandler(args);
