Hi!

Take a look at boost program_options library:

Hi Guys
Below is my current code used to retrieve commandline arguments:

int i = 1;
while (i < argc)
{
    if (strcmp(argv[i], "-f") == 0)
    {
        for (++i; i < argc && strcmp(argv[i], "-s") != 0; ++i) {
            filearr.push_back(argv[i]);
        }
    }
    else if (strcmp(argv[i], "-s") == 0)
    {
        for (++i; i < argc && strcmp(argv[i], "-f") != 0; ++i) {
            searchtext = argv[i];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        ++i;
    }
}

As you can see, its not very scalable. I am thinking of adding another feature args but it'll become difficult to manage. Is there anything on boost which does the same thing albeit with alot less code ?
