This is the way arguments are to handled when you have many of them!

args_bash

while test $# -gt 0
do
  case $1 in
  --usage | --help | -h )
    usage_and_exit 0
    ;;
  --version | -v )
    version
    exit 0
    ;;
  *)
    error_and_usage "Unrecognized option: $1"
    ;;
  esac
  shift
done

getopts.sh

#!/bin/bash
while getopts "f:" OPTION
do
	case $OPTION in
		f)
			MYOPTF="$MYOPTF $OPTARG"
			echo MYOPTF
			;;
	esac
done
