    def initialize(names, values, parent=nil)
      @names = names
      @parent = parent
      @hash = {}
      @values = values
      names.each_with_index { |name, i|
        next if values[i].nil? || values[i] == ""
        @hash[name.to_sym] = values[i]
      }
    end

      self.class.new(names, values + extras, self)
    end

to_a() click to toggle source

Retrieve the complete array of sequential values

    # File lib/rake/task_arguments.rb, line 27
