    • Constructor Detail

      • DefaultParser

        public DefaultParser()
        Creates a new DefaultParser instance with partial matching enabled. By "partial matching" we mean that given the following code: 
         {
     @code
     final Options options = new Options();
     options.addOption(new Option("d", "debug", false, "Turn on debug."));
     options.addOption(new Option("e", "extract", false, "Turn on extract."));
     options.addOption(new Option("o", "option", true, "Turn on option with argument."));
 }
        with "partial matching" turned on, -de only matches the "debug" option. However, with "partial matching" disabled, -de would enable both debug as well as extract options.

 }
        with "partial matching" turned on, -de only matches the "debug" option. However, with "partial matching" disabled, -de would enable both debug as well as extract options.

        Breaks token into its constituent parts using the following algorithm.
