Positional arguments?

[theonlygusti]

Is it possible to specify named arguments that are recognised based on position rather than having an option before?

E.g.

main <name>

Normally you'd have to call like this with jcommander:

main name whatever

But is it possible to be able to do this

main whatever

And then

Commander.name == "whatever"

You can just pick all these parameters in your main parameter and dispatch them from there, can't you?

What do you mean? I don't quite understand.

In the final tool, I'd like to create command syntaxes like this:

main <command> <itemName>

main hide file.py

Or things like

main <command> <itemName> <attribute>

main set brightness 100

Hey do you mind explaining what you mean?

In the final tool, I'd like to create command syntaxes like this:

main <command> <itemName>

main hide file.py

Or things like

main <command> <option> <attribute>

main set brightness 100

And so access them in my code like setCommand.option // "brightness"
