Help with OptionParser

ruby-talk
1

Hello all,

I'm needing some help with OptionParser. I'm wanting to use it to parse a
string rather than ARGV, but when I pass the parse method a string of
options, i get the following error:

undefined method `shift' for "--help":String (NoMethodError)

Is there a way I can format the string of options so OptionParser can use
it?

Thanks! -- BTR

AFAIK the easiest solution is to give it an array which contains just
one string.
