I like choice and think it's The Ruby Way to parsing commandline arguments. :)

But I'm missing a possibility to access to additional arguments, for example:

program -a 1 -b 2 file1 file2 file3

I'm looking for a simple way to get the parameters file1, file2 and file3. That means the rest of arguments wich are
not parsed.

This feature is now in the github repo. I'll post another comment
when I've updated the gem on rubyforge.

Simply use Choice.args_of(opt). This gives you the arguments
of 'opt'. For example, "-b" returns ["2",
"file1", "file2", "file3"]. Is
this as desired?

I really want to update Choice so that you can specify the number
of arguments that are associated with an option. That's non-trivial
to support the way Choice is built at the moment. I'll get to
it eventually.

I added this to my program -- its a work around, and its only
been tested in one situation. Input param is ARGV. I hope Chris
will give us a way within choice.

module Choice
  def get_unparsed_args(args)
    flat=Choice.choices.to_a.flatten
    args.delete_if { |a| a[0].chr == '-' || a[0,1] == '--' ||
flat.include?(a) }
    args
  end
end
