[...]So far I found a solution based on implicit_value() behaviour, with "-b" of type string, but my main problem is that in this case I am forced to enter the value to be adjacent to "-b" (e.g. -b"C:\otherlogfile.log"). The desired form would be the one with a space between, in order to maintain our backward compatibility of scripts (e.g: -b "C:\otherlogfile.log").

If -b is a short option I would have thought that command_line_style::short_allow_next does what you want? Boris
