URGENT!!Multiple argument and option parsing

John386

Hi there!

I'm trying to do something like this without gengetopt()

./app -g filename fileformat

I have to read the option -g, the argument "filename" so I can create a file with that name and then read "fileformat" to know the extension of another file to be generated.
I have no clue of how to do this without gengetopt().
Note that I'm already using gengetopt() so can't use anything that conflicts with it's parsing.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Tks.

Checkout the discussion on parsing command line arguments in this FAQ. I think it will take care of what you want to do.

you should try the glibc manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Getopt.html#Getopt
