Hi,
I try to play with GetoptLong but i don’t know how to handle
exceptions for this class (i’ve no found any documentation on
this). Here my toy snippet :
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
require ‘getoptlong’
def print_usage
STDERR.puts <<-FIN
Usage:
#{$0} [--bla | -b ] [--nbre=val | -n val | -c val]
[--longueur[=val] | -l [val] ] fichier1 [fichier2]
FIN
exit(1)
end
options = GetoptLong.new(
["–bla", “-b”, GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT],
["–nbre", “-n”, “-c”, GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT],
["–longueur", “-l”, GetoptLong::OPTIONAL_ARGUMENT])
begin
options.each do |opt, arg|
case opt
when “-b”
bla = true
when “-n”
cpteur = arg
when “-l”
longueur = (arg ? arg : 10)
end # case
end # each
rescue Exception
print_usage
end
Now, parsing ARGV
(…)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
So, i expect a command line as “ruby toy.rb -z” would only print the
“Usage” message. But here’s what i get:
toy.rb: invalid option – z
Usage:
toy.rb [–bla | -b ] [–nbre=val | -n val | -c val]
[–longueur[=val]?| -l [val] ] fichier1 [fichier2]
Where the “toy.rb: invalid option – z” comes from? Unless i have not
fully understood the Ruby exception mechanism, it seems that my rescue
clause would handle all exceptions, isn’t it ?
Any clue?
