It would probably be easier to diagnose your problem if you post an
entire code example that reproduces the problem.

...for my earlier grumpy email about program_options.
i'm was wanting to pass some sequences to some options using boost::program_options. something like:
[me@here ~]$program --opt1 1 2 3 4 --opt2 5 6 7 8 --opt3 xxx yyy zzz
if i use
desc.add_options("opt1", value< vector<string> >()->multitoken(), "...")
i get all the tokens to the end of the line.
can i make multitoken() stop eating tokens by recognizing a syntactic element; either an option specifier or a token it can't interpret as a required type? can i inherit from the value_semantic class to read multiple tokens maybe?
this whole library is very interesting but subtle. i do better when i can read examples of working code. does anyone know a more extensive discussion of it besides the distibution docs? ...which are great by the way!
cheers jono
