c++ (well duh) help

when u start up a proper dos progra u can can put
/? and /c /d to do different things

Just wondering how u would do this

You mean something like this?

Code:

---

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  for(int i = 1; i < argc; i++)
    if(argv[i][0] == '/')
      printf("argument: %s\n", argv[i]+1);
  return 0;
}

---

i mean like
C:/>format /b
or
C:/>dir /w

Thats what that piece of code do. Try it!

This code will do certain things if you include flags (/b, /w, ...)as parameters when you run the program, ie:
C:/MyFolder/MyProgram /b /w /n /w

Code:

---

int main(int NrOfArguments, char* ArgumentList[])
{
  if(NrOfArguments > 1)
  {
      for(int i=1; i<NrOfArguments; i++)
      {
        if(strcmp("/b", ArgumentList[i]) == 0)
        {
            //Do something if the flag /b exists
            ...
        }
        else if(strcmp("/w", ArgumentList[i]) == 0)
        {
            //Do something if the flag /w exists
            ...
        }
      }
  }

  //The rest of your program
  ...
}

well DUH, how about you write something a bit more descriptive for a subject title then!?

"command line switches" would have been much better.
