- Launch a command prompt
- run your executable. if it is abc.exe do :
abc.exe argument1 argument2 argument3 . . . argumentn
In the code argv[0] will contain abc.exe , argv[1] will contain argument1 and so on.
argc value would be the number of strings in argv
Sample
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i=0;
printf ("\nargc = %d", argc);
for (i=0; i<argc; i++)
{
printf ("\nargv[%d] = %s", i, argv[i]);
}
printf ("\n");
return 0;
}
run with :
demo.exe hello man this is a test
Output:
argc = 7
argv[0] = demo.exe
argv[1] = hello
argv[2] = man
argv[3] = this
argv[4] = is
argv[5] = a
argv[6] = test
P.S.: Please stop using TurboC (3.1)
Just declare your main's prototype as int main(int argc, char *argv[]) and you'll be fine. argc and argv are passed by the operating system (whichever you're using) ;)
