Space separated arguments
Hello, I've created a custom
After testing and finally feeling comfortable with it, I continued exploring Sapphire and added the subcommands package, quickly realizing they weren't compatible, as Subcommand's
messagePreParse that allows spaces as separators and it ended up parsing options and flags way faster than default while still providing me the info I needed.After testing and finally feeling comfortable with it, I continued exploring Sapphire and added the subcommands package, quickly realizing they weren't compatible, as Subcommand's
PreParseReturn only accepts types that extend from Args and mine would return a different (simpler) kind of object.
So I've been dealing with this for a few days and I'm trying to figure out what would be the optimal approach as Lexure doesn't support spaces as a separator for options (I think?).
A properly formatted command would look like:
!command some leading content -opt1 value -flag1 --opt2 "value 2"
My custom parser also supported spaces in values but I guess this is not possible with Lexure, eg:
!command some leading content -opt1 the value -flag1 -opt2 another value -flag2 trailing content
And it would parse the contents according to the options/flags that were provided to it.
Is there a way to allow this kind of syntax (1st example) that wouldn't require THAT much effort, as I've already spent way too much time in the custom argument parser that now I have to discard.4 Replies

:sweats: yeah that's a complicated thing
Ah, sadge, I guess I'll continue to work my way around these limitations, maybe forking the Subcommand class to allow my parser
