[erlang-questions] Command line option parser (getopt?)

[Mazen Harake]

Hiya (And welcome? :)

Try init:get_arguments/0 or init:get_argument/1
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/init.html

Also, incase you will want to read input you will eventually need: io:read/1
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/io.html

Good luck,
Mazen
