I get the same response on Ubuntu and Gentoo. I am not a bash expert but would make the observation that (note multiple quotes):
#!/bin/bash while getopts "a:bc" flag '-a test' '-b' '-c'; do echo "$flag $OPTARG" done in test2 will generate: pe...@vostro ~/Desktop $ ./test2.sh a test b c as will: pe...@vostro ~/Desktop $ ./test1.sh '-a test' '-b' '-c' a test b c However it appears that the parsing is not consistent. -- Bash script getopts strange behaviour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
