Student Management Program help

[1997king2]

Hi I've been trying to work on this assignment for a while now and I am stuck. I am not sure how to use the command line argument. This is just one part of the assignment, I would like some help getting started on this assignment to help me figure out how to do the rest of it.

Commands
Add Command: A
<FirstName> <LastName> <StdID> <MathGrade> <MusicGrade> <PEGrade>



For this command the program should add a new student with the given information to the list of thestudents. The program should not print anything for this command.

This is what I have, any help would be appreciated. thank you.

insert

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char ch, *p, *q;
    char A[STR_LEN + 1], L[STR_LEN + 1], *first[STR_LEN + 1], *last[STR_LEN +1], stdID[1000];
    p = &first[0];
    int i;
    while(ch != 'Q')
    {
        scanf("%s", &A);
    if(ch == 'A')
    {
        printf("%s", argv[0]);
        for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
        {
            printf("%s", argv[i]);
        }
    }

Hi I've been trying to work on this assignment for a while now and I am stuck. I am not sure how to use the command line argument. This is just one part of the assignment, I would like some help getting started on this assignment to help me figure out how to do the rest of it.

My first question would be are you sure that the program is supposed to use command line arguments? You've described a program that works something like this:

./prog A John Public 10001 94.44 72.80

If so, I really think you are headed in the wrong direction, as the code looks like a bizarre fusion of a menu-driven interface and a command line that is hard to use.

What is A? You're reading it wrong.

scanf("%*.s", STR_LEN, A);

But as I said before, scanf() does not read the command line, so the best fix may be to delete it.

For this command the program should add a new student with the given information to the list of thestudents.

So where is the list in your code?

The program should not print anything for this command.

If the program ends after the A command, note that any changes would not be persistent between runs of the program, unless a file was used.
