easy $cmdline

[dexto]

Would be nice to have a function that can simplify $cmdline parsing and function a bit like like iniRead() does.

$cmdline = ' -debug /param "c:"'

$debug = cmdline('debug',False)

Func cmdline($switchtofind, $default = '')

EndFunc

Found a function by Prog@ndy that would be nice to unitize for this but there is a bug: can't read when parameter ends with "

Any idea how to fix?
