Jim Jagielski commented on CLI-188:
-----------------------------------
There is a difference between CLI options hyphen and the MS Word 'em-dash',
same as there are between "regular" ASCII quotes and the "curly quotes".
I don't think that CLI should honor or accept either of those alternatives...
> Adding the another hyphen code 96.

> Key: CLI-188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-188
> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
> Reporter: Grzegorz Solecki
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.3
>
> Attachments: TwoDifferentHyphens.txt
>
>
> In the class Parser (rev 680644) close to line 190 there is code:
> \\
> \\
> {code:title=Parser.java}
> // the value is an option
> else if (t.startsWith("-"))
> {
> {code}
> This line recognizes hyphen like -
> But sometimes (when someone has to work with MS Word Docs) this hyphen - can
> be used instead of -.
> So I would like to suggest just adding a simple piece of code like:
> \\
> \\
> {code:title=Parser.java}
> // the value is an option
> else if (t.startsWith("-") || t.startsWith("-"))
> {
> {code}
> or try to throw an exception like "Option expected not " or "unexpected
> argument".
