Ada.Command_Line and wildcards
in [ADA]
|
From: Gautier on 21 Feb 2007 15:43 Hello! I was surprised to see Ada.Command_Line in GNAT (3.15p and 2006 GPL) serving the command-line argument "*.adb" indeed as N arguments, the list of files with an "adb" extension! ObjectAda gives the argument as-is. Who is right then ? It's a annoying if the wildcard expansion is done a priori, because I would like to have it done by Ada.Directories, for a generic command-line tool... Here, the test program: with Ada.Command_Line; use Ada.Command_Line; with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; procedure Args is begin for I in 1..Argument_Count loop Put_Line(Integer'Image(I) & " [" & Argument(I) & ']'); end loop; Put("Press Enter"); Skip_Line; end; ______________________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/index.htm Ada programming -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gsoft.htm NB: For a direct answer, e-mail address on the Web site!

Try: Args "*.adb" does this give what you expect? -- Adrian

I was surprised as well, and I took it to be a shell issue as well. I found that just wrapping the wildcard in quotes as Adrian suggested passes it in as typed (with tcsh on Linux, anyway). I've got Avatox able to accept either the wildcard or the list of files. -- -- Marc A. Criley -- www.mckae.com -- Avatox - DTraq - XIA - XML EZ Out

If it were a shell issue, how could ObjectAda possibly get it right? (The shell would expand the *.adb and ObjectAda would never see an asterisk.) -- Adam |
