Your example works as intended.

It is less code and looks simpler, but it uses offsets and indexes, therefore I find it harder to understand. It has the following drawbacks/missing features: <ol> <li>It is not possible to pass options to scripts, they are are all consumed by the parsing code and then ether honored or ignored.</li> <li>In order to implement <tt>#lastCommandLineArguments</tt> properly, you have to look ahead for a <tt>--</tt>. Of course before parsing, the arguments after <tt>--</tt> can be stored in an instance variable </li> </ol> I am against implementing feature 1, because it implies once we add new options understood by Cuis' image, the options passed to the script would change in a rather surprising way. The attached changes set implements feature 2. It only adds an instance variable and about 7 lines of code. With it you can do something like: --- snip --- <tt>squeak -vm-display-null -headless Cuis6.0-5632cli2.image -d "Smalltalk scriptingArguments do: [ :arg | StdIOWriteStream stdout nextPutAll: arg; space]. StdIOWriteStream stdout newLine" a b c dee -d "Smalltalk scriptingArguments do: [ :arg | StdIOWriteStream stdout nextPutAll: arg; space]. StdIOWriteStream stdout newLine" z y x why -q -- 1 2 3 -o</tt> --- snap --- and get the following output: --- snip --- <tt>a b c dee 1 2 3 -o </tt><tt> </tt><tt>z y x why 1 2 3 -o </tt> --- snap --- I suppose that should support all sensible uses cases. I also presume, that all requirements of Dr. Geo are fulfilled. HTH and Best Regards, Gerald </div> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Juan Vuletich cuis.st github.com/jvuletich researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3 twitter.com/JuanVuletich</pre> </body> </html>
