Hello, this is my first post in Boost. If this post is not in the right mailing list please let me know, many thanks. I have problems using the "program_options" library while parsing a command line with multiple commands with multiple arguments each. The test.cpp is in attachment. I would like to pars such a command: ./test --firstCommand=arg1 arg2 arg3 --secondCommand=arg1 arg2 arg3 and having as result: ************************ First command detected List of parameters passed: arg1, arg2, arg3 Second command detected List of parameters passed: arg1, arg2, arg3 ************************ But the first command bring the second command as part of its list of arguments with the result: *********************** First command detected List of parameters passed: arg1, arg2, arg3, --secondCommand=arg1, arg2, arg3, ********************** Any hints would be appreciate. Regards, Luca
