hello, I recently picked up boost to make use of the various libraries it includes. Unfortunately, I got stuck with the very first one (program_options) I used in my code. Any help would be appreciated very much. I want an option "bunch" which goes along with a bunch of numbers. I thought the following code would do the job: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <boost/program_options.hpp> using namespace std; namespace po = boost::program_options; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { try { vector<int> numbers; po::options_description params("parameters"); po::variables_map options; params.add_options() ("bunch,b", po::value< vector<int> >(&numbers), "a bunch of numbers"); po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, params), options); po::notify(options); if(options.count("bunch")!=0) { copy (numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), std::ostream_iterator<int>(cout, "\n")); } } catch(exception & e) { cerr << e.what() << endl; } return 0; }; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, it doesn't seem to work as it should. When I run this as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
test --bunch 4 2 42 4
It is just printing the first value - Am I doing something wrong here? I'm using 'boost_1_40_0' which I compiled using MS Visual Studio 2005. thanks,
