Never mind...wasn't thinking straight then. 'options' is a map after all Guess, its the friday evening effect ! :) On 9/15/06, Booster Booster < boost.newbie@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I have a list of options that I want to store before parsing the command line option.

For example,

po::options_description desc; // This has a couple of options. boost::program_options::variable_map options; po::store(po::command_line_parser(command_args).options(desc).run(), options);

The problem is I want to execute the methods that correspond to 'desc' before the methods required by 'command_args' . Is there a way to populate the variable_map in a way such that I get the required sequence ?

I did some reading of the docs, but couldn't find a way to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Sandy.
