I already store the option values in a directory after the command line is parsed, I'd just need to set that into the .environment so it is available to the test groups. The current -<single char> options all have a corresponding --<string>=value I just haven't implement all the --<string> options. The other thing I intended to do was use a properties file so you could store the most common options and not have to type them on the command line. Command line options would over-ride options stored in the properties file. I figured I would get to that when I got tired of typing on the command line. But, I haven't had the urgent need to do it yet. Anyhow, obviously any name=value option could be stored in the properties file and added to the directory. > then the defined variables are made available within the build system.

Yes, it could definitely be useful. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
