6946 :: How to pass arguments with NIM?

• brunomerod (orginal) [2020-10-18T02:35:35+02:00] view original

  I'm having a really good first impression with Nim, it's a surprisingly interesting language. But some stuff I'm used to do are really cryptic, such as passing an argument when invoking an executable from the command line.

  All I want is.

  ./<nimExecutable> $Arg01

  How to do this? I read the documentation and got "tainted string" and such. I wasn't able to make it work.

  Thanks! Bruno Rodrigues

  Hello and welcome to the Nim (yes, it's not capitalized :P) community :)

  It's not cryptic at all - for example, you can use https://nim-lang.org/docs/os.html#parseCmdLine%2Cstring or paramCount together with paramStr :)

  If you're making a CLI, I highly recommend cligen.
