Vector of any length as argument

[DavidAce]

I wonder if argparse supports dynamic-length vector as arguments. Something like

1. ./app --try-values 3.312 7.53 -71.2 ...

where the number of values is unknown at compile-time (i.e. without .nargs(#)).
I've been looking at the readme and other issues here, but all I can find is support for repeated arguments. If I understand correctly, this should work:

2. ./app --try-values 3.312 --try-values 7.53 --try-values -71.2 ...

but this can quickly become tedious.

Is there a way to achieve version 1? It would be nice to do this with .nargs(-1) or .nargs(0) or an enum overload like .nargs(narg::dynamic).

argparse provides support for gathering remaining args. See here: https://github.com/p-ranav/argparse#gathering-remaining-arguments. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I think I can see how that solves the issue for a single vector, but I was really hoping to pass multiple vectors. Consider for instance

./app --rows=8,16,32 ... --columns=2,4,6...

If this is not possible now, is this something you would consider in a future version or in a pull request?

@DavidAce There's a new release of argparse that will support this feature request. Hope this helps.
