Using manyConsole to creating a default argument with no flags but still have commands that require flags

Question

I just found manyConsole for commandline parsing and believe that it can meet my requirements for a Windows console app in my project except for one thing. Can I have manyConsole parse the commandline so that I have the following functionality

myapp.exe C:\somedirectory\somefile.ext -v 10.00

where file path would be required but not preceeded by a flag or command but each argument after would require a flag?

Since you're not dispatching to different commands, Mono.Options would be a more direct match. Both will handle the flagged options then give you a list of unhandled options (which in your case would be the path at the beginning.) Either will work. You might prefer many console still as it will help with error/help responses.

Are there any examples of this anywhere on your NuGet page? – Matt Pedigo Feb 28 '16 at 07:24

There might be something in https://github.com/fschwiet/ManyConsole/tree/master/SampleConsole – Frank Schwieterman Feb 29 '16 at 08:46
Thank you Frank. Just after I accepted your answer and sent out the question reply, I started to look at your examples on github. – Matt Pedigo Mar 01 '16 at 20:15
