getopt in CVI

[40tude]

I would like if one of you find out a way to take advantage of functions like getopt() and getoptlong() in CVI ?

I'm not totally sure what you mean,
of course getopt() is helpful for those who write CLI programs in CVI.
I do 🙂
e.g. I have several programs which open a GUI when called without command-line arguments, otherwise,
try to interpret the parameters and work without user interaction, so can be used in batch-files.
of course, getopt() is great for dealing with cmd-parameters, then.

Thanks for the information however the point is that getopt and getopt_long already exist in libraries.
What I'm looking for is a library I could use in my CVI project and which could help me to "not" re-write what have been written by others.
I found a GNU lib but I was not able to use it succesfully in my CVI project.
I'm pretty sure such lib exist and so I'm looking for is a link to a web site where I could donwload it and use without to have to spend to much time on it.

Philippe,

You could try here. The function names are different, but the functionality appears to be what you want.
