RE(7): Parsing command line

Ok, I assume I got you wrong again...;-)

I figured you have to overwrite @ARGV to get GetOptions to work with you local data. I played a bit with the possibility to turn $input into an array. Unfortunatly I have a meeting right now, I'll get back to it this evening, if you still need help then...

regards,
tomte

I do overwrite @ARGV, I guess I missed that in my 'cut & paste': `@ARGV = split(' ', $input);` [download] I have this row just before the call to parseCmdLine(). Hotshot	[reply] [d/l]

The error is, that, unlike the shell, you pass `@ARGV is (-s, "test, drei, vier")` [download] for `$input="-s \"test drei vier\""` (try `Getopt::Long::Configure('debug');`) I can't come up with an easy way (like one regex) to solve this, you have to parse $input a bit more complicated than the split to mimik the bash-behavior regards, tomte	[reply] [d/l] [select]
