<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1518785123784_38995">Hi,</div>
I am working on an erlang application which provides a command line
tool to run some basic tests on hardware. The tool work like this,<br>
as the application starts, it will prompt a message on the console,
user can give any options present in the console, based on the
options<br>
provided by user the application performs the required tests.<br>
<br>
I am using <b>io:read/1</b>, functions to display the message and
read the user provided options. But the problem with this function
is that, user has to give a<br>
<b>dot</b> at the end. Is it possible to avoid forcing user to put <b>dot</b>
at the end of every option he provides, any better function or is
there any better way build<br>
a command line tool in erlang.<br>
<br>
Can someone please help me out in this.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
Arun<br>
