argParser

Option parser for AppleScript.

How it works

• an argument starts with -- works as a fullname key and next is to be the value.
• an argument starts with - works as a shortname key.
  make sure to call setPropShortNames before parsing else it is treated as fullname.
• key-less arguments will be stored in _ of the result.

setPropShortNames({l:"list",h:"help"}) -- optional
setDefaultValues({|list|:"default value of list", key2:"defKey2"}) -- optional
parse({"-l", "foo", "-h", "--key1", "value1", "namelessValue", "nameless2"})

-- result {_:{"namelessValue","nameless2"}, list:"foo", key2:"defKey2", help:null, key1:"value1"}

usage

1. Copy argParser.scpt to your script library folder.
   By default it's at ~/Library/Scripts.
   Running install.sh on Terminal will do it instead of you. (Perhaps you need to do chmod 755 install.sh before.)

2. See sample.scpt
