Determine CLI arguments? - VUEDUE - Jul 10, 2021

I want to produce a script that utilizes command-line arguments. So far I have this:

Code 
Dim clArgs() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()

        If clArgs.Count <= 1 Then

            Environment.Exit(0).

        End If

Obviously if the user were to double-click the executable, it will exit since it wasn't called from the CLI w/ the appropriate arguments.

At this point however, I want to establish this synatx:

Code 
my_program.exe -h http://www.example.com -m GET -r -t 50

Basically I'm trying to get and values following -h (for host), -m (for method), and then the -t (for threads).

I assume I would have to determine their index, right? I'm having trouble getting the values and setting them in global variables. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it <3

So I comprehend that. If you follow the link you posted, in the example it shows the user how to loop through the values inputted via CLI. I get that. That's not my issue. I'm having trouble determining the order of what was posted. So if the user throws the -m switch, I want to know if the user inputted either GET or POST (one of two http methods) and set that value as a string variable. That's what I'm stuck on. I'm lost on how I would even begin.

you have args array check them
if args(1) = "-m" then ... check args(2) value

Ahhh, I see. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
