Hey guys. I was trying to write a Polish Calculator to run from the command line, and it didn't work because everytime I typed in "*" it would recognize it as a list of every program in the same folder. I'm guessing this is a command prompt thing, so I had a couple of questions.
1: Is there a way to get it to recognize it as '*' and not as that command?
2: Is there a website or list of all such commands for the command prompt?
Thanks!
You could insert the whole statement in double quotes.

^ Or just escape it.
Code:./a.out \*
Interesting. The double quotes thing didnt work, What did work was putting a single quote after the *, so it was
is this difference because I am running vista?Code:expr 2 2 *'
Are you using an IDE to compile and run your program. If so try running the program from the command line. What compiler are you using? And if using an IDE which one?

The double quotes didn't work because that will put the whole string into the argv[1] (which you probably weren't expecting).
