How can I use parameters in NimScript tasks? I had a peek at the the task template source and it looks like the ...Task proc does not take any parameters.

So do I have to read parameters manually from the command line?

you can use paramStr and paramCount from os to use command line parameters

Thanks. That's what I was suspecting.

Problem though is, if you want to call task from within your nimscript (via the ...Task proc) you have no change to provide the correct parameters - or do I overlook something?

You could set global variables

I made a procedure that’d parse the parameter strings and return a configuration object. If a sub-task needed the config it just (re)calls the parsing procedure. Inefficient but straightforward and no init checks required.
