Hi all, I would like to know on passing commandline arguments in different contexts using GOption. For an example passing one argument( 1 & 2) and multiple arguments(3) with excluded parameter as follows. 1) ./parser --scan [FILE] 2) ./parser --parse [FILE] However, it should be also possible to execute bothoptions at once,without specifying expected file name twice. 3) ./parser --parse --scan [FILE] 1 & 2 cases are pretty straightforward to handle with GOption, but would like to hear about a mechanism to handle the 3 rd case. but,according to the way I used GOption command line parsing, I cannot achieve the above. Here's the code I used.. gboolean gbverbose = FALSE; gboolean gbversion = FALSE; gchar *gcparse = FALSE; gchar *gcscan=FALSE; GError *error = NULL; GOptionEntry options[] = { { "verbose", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &gbverbose, "Add verbose output to standard log", NULL }, { "version", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &gbversion, "Print version information on standard output", NULL }, { "parse", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME, &gcparse, "Parse the program, print errors on standard error", NULL }, { "scan", 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME, &gscan, "Scan the file", NULL } { NULL } }; GOptionContext *ctx; /* Add the main entries table to the context, providing a name. */ ctx = g_option_context_new("- The file scanning & parsing"); g_option_context_add_main_entries(ctx, options, "Parser"); g_option_context_parse(ctx, &argc, &argv, &error); g_option_context_free(ctx); if (error) { fprintf (stderr, "parser: %s\nTry `parser --help' for more information\n", error->message); g_error_free (error); return 0; } ... ... Please let me know any ideas on this. Thanks, Randima _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
