Hello,
How do I make a command line argument required using getopts?

Thanks.

You have no way of knowing if I did or did not do a search. Which I did. This does not answer my question. If you don't feel up to replying than you do not have to. Thanks anyway.

Again read the rules, specifically the first three all of which you have broken in your past two posts.

(1) No flames, shouting (all caps), sarcasm, bullying, profanity or arrogant posts.

(2) No negative comments about others or impolite remarks. Be patient.

(3) Refrain from idle chatter that does not contribute to the knowledge base.


Additionally had you searched as you siad you did, you would have found this which does deal with what you asked for.

And on the subject of your comments on spelling, you would do better than mock people when your original post began "I do I make a command" until you edited it.

What's going on here?! Thread closed. Yoi2hot4ya - read the rules please.

Read the threads suggested by reborg, and this on getopt(s) too.

Thanks
