getopts and "priority level" for args
Hi, I use getopts in this way:
Code:
while getopts ":d:f:crapv" Option
do
  case $Option in
    d     ) BACKUP_DIR="$OPTARG";echo $BACKUP_DIR;; #echo fot test
    c     ) compress_file;;                     
    r     ) remove_file;;                       
    a     ) remove_file && compress_file;;
    p     ) print_file;;                        #for test
    f     ) echo "Extension test";;
    v     ) echo $APP_VERSION;;
    \?    ) echo "$USAGE" exit 1;;
    *     ) echo "$USAGE" exit 1;;
  esac 
done

If I run the script with
Code:
./myscript -d /home/marco/temp/ -p

it's all ok but if I run the script in this other way
Code:
myscript -p -d /home/marco/temp/

the BACKUP_DIR var isn't set. There is a way to check if "-d" (for example) is in the command line option and if it's true do -d operation before the other? Or there is a way to don't execute the operation if there is a -d option in the command line but it isn't the first option?

You need to do something like this. Before your option loop do:
printfile=0
Inside the loop:
p) printfile=1
And after the loop:
((printfile)) && print_file
or
if ((printfile)) ; then
print_file
fi
