Reply To: ERROR: Option matching -s not found in command line top-level context

-s is kind of holy, so it’s surprising to see it is giving you an error.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it is some sort of character formatting error – like the CR/LF issue that often plagues raw text files moved from *nix systems to windows.

The first thing I would try is re-ordering the flags in your file; it may be that something is broken somewhere such that no flags are read in properly.

The next thing I would try is running with no other flags but -help; check that -s does appear in that (very long) list as it should.

Also try -in:file:s instead (that is its full name).
