Config file for patterns?

[CalebCloud]

Is there any support to read the patterns from a configuration file?

Genuinely an incredible library that has simplified menus in any shell script I make from here on out.

No. I don't know exactly what you mean by a configuration file, but I think a shell script file will suffice.

See parser_definition.sh and the usage example below. It is declarative enough, and is a more flexible shell script than a configuration file.

#!/bin/sh

set -eu

VERSION=0.1

. ./lib/getoptions.sh
. ./lib/getoptions_help.sh
. ./lib/getoptions_abbr.sh
. ./examples/parser_definition.sh

# Define the parse function for option parsing
eval "$(getoptions parser_definition parse "$0")"

parse "$@"          # Option parsing
eval "set -- $REST" # Exclude options from arguments

echo "FLAG: $FLAG"
echo "VERBOSE: $VERBOSE"
echo "PARAM: $PARAM"
echo "OPTION: $OPTION"
echo "VERSION: $VERSION"
