No existing library has a "good design" because it is used to parse existing command line syntax, which does not have a good design. The aim here is to fix a single unified syntax that is amenable to a universal parser, i.e. one where you just say "parse it" and then query the results. I'm not trying to parse "any old command line syntax" but fix one that all Felix tools use, which is easy to code and easy to decode. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
