Question

So I have a program called prog.exe that starts with

int main(int argc, char** argv)

The parameters that I pass to it are

prog.exe news-rec

or
prog.exe news-rec -t -p

How could I configure the values of these parameters in code so that I dont have to run the program from command line.

For example for

prog.exe news-rec

I think argc = 1 but how will I configure argv what will it be?
I tried doing

argv[0] = "news-rec";

but that doesn’t work

Answer 1

Because argv[0] contains the name of the executable itself. Try

argc = 2;
argv[1] = "news-recc";
