What is the correct syntax to specify multiple channels to exclude from deletion? about discord-delete

[fosspill]

This is well documented in the https://github.com/cedws/discord-delete/wiki/Skipping-specific-channels page. This is also linked directly from the main readme.

Basically: ./discord-delete partial -s 777813370090815590 -s 796286628817272843 -s 805364751726280745

Hopefully that's helpful :)

Thank you for the update. I am sorry I missed this, I do remember being on that documentation page but must have missed the example with multiple. (might have also clicked on the wrong version)

After looking at the code for "pflag" which is where the flag parsing function is from, it seems that the values have to be comma-separated.

As such, I'm guessing it's more like --skip="8xxxxx,6xxxxx,6xxxxxxx" instead

https://github.com/spf13/pflag/blob/master/string_slice.go

// StringSliceVar defines a string flag with specified name, default value, and usage string.
// The argument p points to a []string variable in which to store the value of the flag.
// Compared to StringArray flags, StringSlice flags take comma-separated value as arguments and split them accordingly.
// For example:
//   --ss="v1,v2" --ss="v3"
// will result in
//   []string{"v1", "v2", "v3"}
func StringSliceVar(p *[]string, name string, value []string, usage string) {
	CommandLine.VarP(newStringSliceValue(value, p), name, "", usage)
}

// StringSliceVarP is like StringSliceVar, but accepts a shorthand letter that can be used after a single dash.
func StringSliceVarP(p *[]string, name, shorthand string, value []string, usage string) {
	CommandLine.VarP(newStringSliceValue(value, p), name, shorthand, usage)
}

Hope the above answers your question.
