How to parse an argument without a name with Ruby's optparse
- by Leonid Shevtsov
I need to parse a command line like
script.rb <mandatory filename> [options]
with optparse.
Sure I can write some custom code to handle the filename, then pass ARGV to optparse, but maybe there's a simpler way to do it?
EDIT: there's another hacky way to parse such a command line, and that is pass '--mandatory-filename ' + ARGV to optparse, then handle the --mandatory-filename option.
