Re: Command Line Argument - Choosing a Style

[Jonathan deWerd]

I would make plugins of a different type: standard cocoa bundles (there are a handful of tutorials on google). This way, people could install and uninstall using the finder (a little known but helpful feature of the info box), you could use standard cocoa APIs, you wouldn't have to deal with the overhead of spawning a new process, and you could provide a template to get devs started. Then I'd just pass configuration info in a dictionary.

If that isn't an option, I would pass a bunch of --key value pairs to retain some semblance of standard-ness :)

Hi,

the document text comes out as the standard output.


text and the settings to the executable. I see three options:


  string containing the settings as key-value pairs.

  key, the third a setting value, the fourth a setting key, etc...

  as to determine the key for each.


most appropriate?

Thanks.

I'm developing an application to support third-party extensions that filter text. Each filter consists mainly of a property list and an executable. The idea is that the text of the current document goes into the executable along with settings specified in the property list (as arguments); text to replace Right now I am stuck trying to decide how I should pass both the document 1. Have the first argument be the document text, and the second an XML 2. Have the first argument be the docucument text, the second a setting 3. Have the first argument be the docucument text, have each successive argument be a setting value, in an order specified in the property list so I can easily set up the application to support any of these methods. My problem is that each one seems to have some inconveniences for the developer of the filter, and I would like to make this as convenient as possible for anyone who makes a filter. Could someone tell me which method would be the http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/jjoonathan %40gmail.com
