CommandLineParser: How to catch invalid input to numeric parameter

asked 2016-03-11 12:01:38 -0600

Is there a way to know if a user passes invalid input to a numeric argument with CommandLineParser? e.g. if this is my command line:

./app -s=sss

then this code:

markerSize = parser.get<float>("s");

returns 0 and an error message is printed to the console. I need to know the difference between 0 and invalid input. It doesn't throw an exception so I can't use try … catch.

did you setup a meaningful default value ? like:

String keys=
    "{fps            | -1.0f | fps for output video }"
    "{s              | -1.0f | marker size            }";
CommandLineParser cmd(argc,argv,keys);

Well, looking at the sample code, you call parser.check() to see if there were any errors, and then parser.printErrors() tells you what went wrong.

It doesn't say if calling parser.has("s") would return false if there were errors, I suppose you'd have to check that yourself.
