Hi Uthsav,
Can you give some more details about what you're actually trying to do?
If you're simply trying to break up your files, it should work fine.
$ julia argparse_example3.jl --opt1 1 2 3
Parsed args:
arg1 => Any["2","3"]
karma => 0
arg2 => Any["no_arg_given"]
opt1 => 1
$ echo 'include("argparse_example3.jl")' > arg_test.jl
$ julia arg_test.jl --opt1 1 2 3
Parsed args:
arg1 => Any["2","3"]
karma => 0
arg2 => Any["no_arg_given"]
opt1 => 1
On the other hand, if you're running from the REPL... well, first, I'm not
sure that makes much sense. `ArgParse` is meant for parsing command line
arguments, and it's not possible right now to do that from the REPL:
$ julia

julia> include("argparse_example3.jl")
required argument arg1 was not provided
usage: argparse_example3.jl [--opt1 [OPT1]] [-k] arg1 arg1 [arg2...]
$
The best I could come up with was
$ julia -e 'include("argparse_example3.jl")' -- --opt1 1 2 3
Parsed args:
arg1 => Any["2","3"]
karma => 0
arg2 => Any["no_arg_given"]
opt1 => 1
Which is doing essentailly the same thing as the previous example.
(BTW, you might find DocOpt.jl to be a useful substitute.)
Cheers,
Kevin
