parsing command line options

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-01 20:54 ID:+JqMyh4H

Hey there fella's,

I'm writing a small command-line application in C for windows, and I was wondering what the best way to parse command-line optins would be?

Rewrite the program for Unix and use getopt:

thanks brah, although it is impossible for me to rewrite for unix, it seems the compiler that im using has getopt.h, so ill see how that goes.

use getopt_long or write your own parser.
I've seen some #defines that do the trick.

What is a good way to do it with MSVC, as that doesn't have getopt.

You could parse them. It should be pretty easy if you accept options in the form:

-option [argument]
--option[=argument]

and if you don't accept the old style Unix mess of -fags as shortcut for -f -a -g -s.

A complete parser should parse this:

-a b --clong=d -efg -- -h

it's not hard, so write one yourself faggot.

Getopt is not ENTERPRISE enough. Use a XML configuration file.

Just copy getopt.c and getopt.h from some gpl'd project, and include the .h file.

ITT we infringe on copyrights.

i thought you were able to yoink source from gpl as long as your project is also GPL?

Anyways, like i said, my compiler comes with getopt.h, so problem solved, and i have finished the app. I just need to make it more enterprise.

You're allowed to steal gpl code, it's not like they'll ever find out ;)

ITT we realise that someone has already written the best code for the purpose.

Then what about popt and all those other stupid getopt libraries?
