Thanks guys.
I have constructed some code but am getting some errors. I am trying to use a vector to hold several values but everytime I execute it I get a page worth of errors. Code below:
po::options_description desc("Available Options");
desc.add_options()
("file", po::value< vector<string> >(), "specify files to search")
;
po::variables_map vm;
po::store(po::parse_command_line(ac, av, desc), vm);
po::notify(vm);
if (vm.count("file")) {
cout << "Files selected: " << vm["file"].as< vector<string> >() << "\n";
} else {
cout << "No Files selected.\n";
}
The error is being caused by the following line:
cout << "Files selected: " << vm["file"].as< vector<string> >() << "\n";
Here is the error message:
play.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:

Hi!
Take a look at boost program_options library:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/doc/html/program_options.html

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 ?
