Re: Lapp - a simple framework for command-line parsing

[Andrew Wilson <agrwagrw@...>]

Little tweak, lapp.c in line 248 -

                    if parmstr:find('^%a[^%s]+') then
                        -- a short option followed by a non space?
(exception for AW ;))

So space or no space works with short options on either numbers or strings.

Cheers
