Thomas Neidhart commented on CLI-219:
-------------------------------------
As Emmanuel already outlined, there should already be the possibility to
specify such behavior.
For your example you could would specify the option as follows:
{noformat}
Options options = new Options();
options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("foo")
.hasArgs()
.withValueSeparator(' ')
.create("f"));
{noformat}
This parses the input from above correctly.
> Allow to specify options with a single argument that will be split into
> multiple arguments

> As hinted there, a solution might be to allow that the (single) argument of
> an "Option" (cf. "hasArg()") be split according to a user-defined regexp
> pattern. If given a split pattern, the code would convert a single-arg
> "Option" into a multiple-args one (where the arguments are the result of
> splitting the single-arg string with the pattern).
