Multiple options on command line

Submitted by JPritchett on Thu, 2011-12-01 13:48

Pipeline 2

When I use the following command line:

dp2.sh -s dtbook-to-zedai -i source=testIn/JW393/JW393.xml -t opt-output-dir=file:/Users/jpritchett/daisy-pipeline/testOut/JW393 opt-zedai-filename=JW393_zai.xml

Only the first option is recognized and acted upon. If I swap the order of the two options, I get an error that I haven't given an output-dir. So it looks like only the first option on the command line is being processed. What am I doing wrong here?

Mac OS X 10.6.8, Java 1.6.0

Options must be separated by commas. The command line should be:

dp2.sh -s dtbook-to-zedai -i source=testIn/JW393/JW393.xml -t opt-output-dir=file:/Users/jpritchett/daisy-pipeline/testOut/JW393,opt-zedai-filename=JW393_zai.xml

HTH,

Aha, that does it.

Aha, that does it. Thanks!

Two recommendations: Make this clearer in the README in the section about command line usage ("comma-delimited list of options"), and provide multiple command line examples in the transformer documentation.

I agree, the CLI is currently under-documented. FYI the next release will feature a revamped CLI, and we will seize the opportunity to write proper documentation and examples.

Thanks,
Romain.
