Using PowerShell Parser for console application
My larger PowerShell/console application requires OOP, etc. for easier development.
I know about parsers such as NDesk.Options and CommandLineParser but I want something to simulate cmdlet parsing as close as possible. E.g. Support parsing for:
MyProject.exe do-thing ("computer1", "computer2") -p "parameter"
MyProject.exe do-thing -cn ("computer1", "computer2") -p "parameter" -verbose
Is it possible to use System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser or a another tool to simulate PowerShell parsing? Are there any examples and pitfalls to watch out for?

Sure, you could use Parser.ParseInput() to parse the args and then extract the individual elements from the resulting CommandAst:
using System.Management.Automation.Language;
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string args)
{
Token tokens;
ParseError errors;
Ast topAst = Parser.ParseInput(String.Join(" ", args), out tokens, out errors);
// Find the CommandAst object
CommandAst parsedCommand = topAst.Find(ast => ast is CommandAst, true);
// Grab the command name
string commandName = ((StringConstantExpressionAst)parsedCommand.CommandElements[0]).Value;
// Grab the remaining command arguments from CommandAst.CommandElements
}
}
I'd would probably store the arguments in a Dictionary<string,string>
