Question

i have a program that runs like so:

a.out 23421232

now if i use a.out it will tell me check params and gives an example and closes.
I am curious if there is a way to add command line args when executing my code in vs2008?

Answer 1

VS doesn’t normally produce an executable named a.out like most Unix compilers do. Instead, given an input XXX.cpp, it’ll produce an executable named XXX.exe.

Adding command line arguments is done by bringing up the project properties (Alt+F7), selecting “Debugging” and then entering the argument(s) in the “Command Arguments” control. There, you’ll add JUST the argument “23421232” (or whatever).
