Use a double hyphen for the argument example in the wiki
5-tom opened this issue · 3 comments
This issue concerns the $.process.argv (was getArgs()) section of the wiki. A '-' is being used when '--' should be.
'-' are for flags
'--' are for options
When I use a simple options parser like minimist I get:
{_: [], m: true, y: true, A: true, r: true, g: true}
because it thinks -myArg is -m -y -A -r -g
I believe you want this result:
{_: [], myArg: "HelloWord"}
So you should use --myArg "HelloWorld" in the wiki.
$.process.argv is a wrapper around Eclipse code. See
Eclipse itself uses a mixture of '-' and '--' when setting options. In fact, org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getApplicationArgs() returns arguments whether they have one, two or even three hyphens. So it doesn't matter. I'll update the wiki to show both.
I've updated the wiki with a note to say you can use one or two hyphens.
Please close this issue if that answers it!
Amazing, thank you!
