Can ruby's GetOptLong process spaces in option arguments?
What I'm trying to do is pass an argument for an option in a ruby script that will be a unix command. The command may (probably will) involve greps, pipes and possible lots of other stuff. Essentially, what I'm wondering is, can a GetOptLong option be setup to accept any character as an argument. For what it's worth, I can't use OptionParser, and probably not slob either (or whatever it's called).

Thanks,
