I want to debug a program in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with an argument

  • 0

I want to debug a program in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with an argument like: “file-%04d.jpg”.

But entering this string in Project Properties > Config Properties > Debugging > Command Arguments changes the “%04”, resulting in argv[1] being set to: “file-[some unknown symbol]d.jpg”.

The percent character seems to be interpreted as an escape sequence which is not what I want. This does not happen in 2008.

    %xx seems to be interpreted as an ascii escape.
    So %25 should result in a real % character in the argument list.
