Usage:

var
  idx : integer;
  helper: TCommandLineHelper;
begin
  helper:= TCommandLineHelper.Create;
  with Memo1.Lines do
  begin
    Clear;

    Add('CMD Line: ' + helper.CommandLine + #13#10) ;
    Add('Number of params: ' + IntToStr(helper.ParamCount) + #13#10) ;

    for idx := 1 to helper.ParamCount do
    begin
      Memo1.Lines.Add(helper.ParamStr[idx]) ;
    end;
      Memo1.Lines.Add('Has Param - and ? '+ BoolToStr(helper.HasParam['third'], true));
  end;
  helper.Free;
end;
