bash-get-options

get options from script args

try

• ./main.sh
• ./main.sh -x foo
• ./main.sh -y bar
• ./main.sh -x bar -y foo
• ./main.sh -y bar -x foo
• ./main.sh -x bar -x foo

How to include into your script/project

1. git clone this repo

2. include line source /path/to/this/repo/src/src.sh

3. set up your args dict and defaults

    declare -A options_dict=(
        [x]=xvar
        [y]=yvar
    )
    declare -A options_defaults=(
        [xvar]="xvalue"
        [yvar]="y1 y2 y3"
    )
   

4. add args processing snippet and export vars into current process

    bgo_main ${@}
   

5. now you can use it as array values

    echo "xvar = ${xvar[@]}"
    echo "yvar = ${yvar[@]}"
    for y in ${yvar[@]}
    do
        echo ${y}
    done
