Crash course: 1) Create a GetOpt with 'GetOpt new'. 2) Tell it what options to expect with 'getOpt at: optChar put: optBlock' where optChar is a character (the option, duh) and optBlock is a unary block (for options without arguments) or a binary block for options with arguments. (The first block parameter is always the option letter that was matched; the second, if present, is the argument to the option.) 3) Tell it what to do with option $? if you want to intercept unrecognised options. 4) Send it 'default: unaryBlock' to tell it what to do with non-option arguments. 5) Send it 'parse: aCollection' to parse the arguments in aCollection. Note that '-x foo' and '-xfoo' are handled correctly for an option 'x' that expects an argument (in both cases the argument is 'foo'). For anyone who didn't understand the crash course, the following: | files searchPath outputPath verbose | files := OrderedCollection new. searchPath := OrderedCollection new. outputPath := nil. verbose := false. GetOpt new at: $I put: [ :opt :arg | searchPath add: arg ]; at: $o put: [ :opt :arg | outputPath := arg ]; at: $v put: [ :opt | verbose := true ]; at: $? put: [ :opt | self error: 'illegal option: -' , opt asString ]; default: [ :arg | files add: arg ]; parse: Smalltalk arguments startingAt: 1. will parse a compiler command line for include directories ('-I dir' option, argument appended to 'searchPath'), an output filename ('-o filename' option, argument left in 'outputPath'), a verbosity flag ('-v' option, setting 'verbose' to true), and zero or more input filenames (anything else, appended to 'files'). If you still don't understand then you shouldn't be here.
