Thread: Collecting file name

I am trying to write a program to accosiate with zip files. Basically, I want to double click a zip file, have it load up my program and pass it the name of the zip file and then have my program call a batch file passing this data.

I think I can do most of it, but I have no idea how to collect the file name when the program is called from an association.

Anyone have any ideas where to start? Just the name of a function to look at would be great.

Never mind, I have found out myself. For those interested, its the same as code for taking command line arguments (Why didn't I think of that to start with)

For those interested, this code outputs the name of the program then the name of the program that called it:

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  
    cout<<argv[0]<<"\n";
    cout<<argv[1]<<"\n";
                cin.get();
  
}
