On a tangent, for even more flexibility I modified GetoptLong to be able
to take a user-specified array as input rather than always implicitly
processing ARGV (which it defaults to, for backward compatibility). In
order not to change the original code, I used Ruby’s ability to open and
modify an existing class…

opts =3D GetoptLong.new(_

what if I don’t actually want short options such as the -T? (running
out
of suitable letters, or something)
=20
How would I use it then?
opts =3D GetoptLong.new(
[ “–create-test”, GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ]
)
The short options are optional. GetoptLong is very flexible. You can=20
have as many or as few short and long options as you like.
$ cat test.rb=20
require ‘getoptlong’
opts =3D GetoptLong.new(
[ “–create-test”, GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ]
)
$ ruby test.rb=20
