Re: OptionParser error handling (InvalidArgument)

Maybe you were looking for something like this:

-----
require 'optparse'

options = {
   :no => 0
}

opts = OptionParser.new do |opts|
   opts.on('-n', '--no N',
           "Number of... Default value: #{options[:no]}") do |no|
     if /\A[+]?\d+\Z/ === no  # nonnegative integer?
       options[:no] = no
     else
       warn "#{no} is not a nonnegative integer, using default value"
     end
   end
end

opts.parse!(ARGV)

p options
-----

$ ruby optparse.rb -n -5
-5 is not a nonnegative integer, using default value
{:no=>0}

$ ruby optparse.rb -n 3
{:no=>"3"}

Personally, I do not like provoking an exception only to
test whether no is an integer.
Also, the 'else' part from begin-rescue-else is useless.
