Hi
I new to using the apache commons cli I am struggling to get this
correct and would really appreciate any help.
I need to add an option to my command line (-p) with a variable number
of options like the following..
Note there are other options -a, -f, -d but I am not interested in them
for now
e.g
myApp -p [<name> | <Time> | <Boolean>] -a XXX -d xxx -f XXX
where time is of the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
Note
1. There is a space between the "YYYY-MM-DD" and the "HH:MM:SS"(does
this mean the CLI Parser will see 2 parameters )
2. The <time> and <boolean> parameters are optional.
3. The <name> parameter is mandatory when using the -p option
I am using the Commons Cli API..
I am trying to define the option as follows but this obviously isnt
correct
final Option persistDataOption =
OptionBuilder.withArgName("persist").hasOptionalArgs(3)
hasArg().withDescription("Persist Data with Scheduling")
.create(CLIOption.PERSIST_DATA.getOptionString());
where
CLIOption.PERSIST_DATA.getOptionString()) will return the "-p" option
Can someone please show me how to define this command line option
correctly please
Thanks in advance
