    It is probably because your shell / cmd.exe (no specifics are given!) use the * as file glob. If there are no files found that match the glob, the result will be empty.

    Try calling you program like this:

    test abc 'pqr*' 'xyz'
    

    refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_%28programming%29 for details about globbing, and your shell’s manual for details about escaping globs.
