It provides facilities for logically removing arguments 34-- from the command line, so that subsequent calls to Argument_Count and 35-- Argument will reflect the removals. 36 37-- For example, if the original command line has three arguments A B C, so 38-- that Argument_Count is initially three, then after removing B, the second 39-- argument, Argument_Count will be 2, and Argument (2) will return C. 40 41package Ada.Command_Line.Remove is 42 pragma Preelaborate; 43 44 procedure Remove_Argument (Number : Positive); 45 -- Removes the argument identified by Number, which must be in the 46 -- range 1 .. Argument_Count (i.e. an in range argument number which 47 -- reflects removals). If Number is out of range Constraint_Error 48 -- will be raised. 49 -- 50 -- Note: the numbering of arguments greater than Number is affected 51 -- by the call. If you need a loop through the arguments, removing 52 -- some as you go, run the loop in reverse to avoid confusion from 53 -- this renumbering: 54 -- 55 -- for J in reverse 1 .. Argument_Count loop 56 -- if Should_Remove (Arguments (J)) then 57 -- Remove_Argument (J); 58 -- end if; 59 -- end loop; 60 -- 61 -- Reversing the loop in this manner avoids the confusion. 62 63 procedure Remove_Arguments (From : Positive; To : Natural); 64 -- Removes arguments in the given From..To range. From must be in the 65 -- range 1 .. Argument_Count and To in the range 0 .. Argument_Count. 66 -- Constraint_Error is raised if either argument is out of range. If 67 -- To is less than From, then the call has no effect. 68 69 procedure Remove_Argument (Argument : String); 70 -- Removes the argument which matches the given string Argument. Has 71 -- no effect if no argument matches the string. If more than one 72 -- argument matches the string, all are removed. 73 74 procedure Remove_Arguments (Argument_Prefix : String); 75 -- Removes all arguments whose prefix matches Argument_Prefix. Has 76 -- no effect if no argument matches the string. For example a call 77 -- to Remove_Arguments ("--") removes all arguments starting with --. 78 79end Ada.Command_Line.Remove; 80
