I'm wanting to use it to parse a string rather than ARGV, but when I pass the parse method a string of options, i get the following error: undefined method `shift' for "--help":String (NoMethodError) Is there a way I can format the string of options so OptionParser can use it? Thanks! -- BTR ------ art_4677_16685137.1199733664570--
