Is there any way to modify the commandLineArgs array?

[Gameday]

CobraCore.commandLineArgs is read-only.
Is there any way of modifying the list of arguments passed to the program?

The list you get back can be modified, but if you invoke the method again from somewhere else, you get a new list:

get commandLineArgs as List<of String>
    return List<of String>(Environment.getCommandLineArgs)

I just always assign it to a local anyway and then pass it around if I need to. Something like:

class Program

    def main
        args = CobraCore.commandLineArgs
        for arg in args, print arg
        Foo().bar(args)

class Foo

    def bar(args as IList<of String>)
        pass

This also means that Foo().bar() can be reused in other ways because it takes an argument instead of using a global source. Also you can do this if you want to skip the program name:

args = CobraCore.commandLineArgs[1:]

Oh, so there is no way to modify the original argument list? In Ruby I could do ARGV.clear and it would empty the command line arguments.
I realize this may not be the way to go, but I just wanted to know if it was possible

I don't think there is. The args originally come from the "Environment" class whose members are listed here:

But I don't see anything to clear them.

Yeah, I don't think in .NET there's any straight forward method of going about that. Now I'm curious though, why would you want to clear or modify the command line arguments?
