Something like
users.forEach(user => { getProfile (user)})

25,204 PointsQuintin Riley The process object and it's argv method checks the arguments entered on the terminal. So if wanted to get the profiles of "chalkers", "quintinriley", and "davemcfarland", you would need to enter the following command in the terminal: node app.js 'chalkers' 'quintinriley' 'davemcfarland'
The command above will provide you with the necessary arguments. The reason you weren't seeing anything "processed" is because you weren't adding the additional usernames to the command.
Hope this helps, Rich

That would work if he was using the values within the scope of the JavaScript file, but Quentin needed to use the arguments from the terminal and thus use the command
node app.js 'chalkers' 'quintinriley' 'davemcfarland'
