    Default QCommandLineOption with argument list

    I'm trying to parse the following command line input:

    Qt Code:
    1. ./qtProgram --arguments first second third
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I've looked at the documentation for QCommandLineParser and the provided example, but they only address when the command line argument has one value.

    There is a QCommandLineParser function called "values" that returns a QStringList, which looked promising, but it only returns a list of one (and it's "first"). How do I set up the QCommandLineOption to pull all of them into a QStringList?

    Qt Code:
    1. ...
    2.  
    3. QCommandLineOption argumentOption(QStringList() << "a" << "arguments",
    4. "Parse the following arguments <arguments>.",
    5. "none");
    6. parser.addOption(argumentOption);
    7.  
    8. ...
    9.  
    10. QStringList argumentList = parser.values(argumentOption); // Size is one, value is "first"
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Default Re: QCommandLineOption with argument list

    I think QCommandLineParser::values() may work, if you launch your app with:
    Qt Code:
    1. ./qtProgram -a first -a second -a third
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Otherwise you should use
    Qt Code:
    1. ./qtProgram -a "first second third"
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and split "first second third" into a QStringList
