Dear Mohit,  
Do you know about the optionparser classes.  
If you know very well could you explain me.  
Because,as far I read that is very useful for parsing the commandline  
arguments.  
Please anyone help me.

Nope, I haven’t used it. someone else will have to chip in.

It would be very useful if you try to use it and post us some source  
code that is not working for you and tell us how the result is different  
from what you expect. I think most people would expect that since this  
is a forum and not your development team 🙂

Cheers,  
Mohit.

What exactly are you missing from the documentation? It’s admittedly a  
bit compressed but (almost) everything is there.

Kind regards
