    Calling program with variables

    Hello, i need to call a program from terminal while entering some strings or files (the strings are names of files that i need to open later) into the program at the same time, like this:

    ./codificar TablaDeCodificacion.txt completo.txt completoCodificado [ENTER]
    but if i use scanf() i need to call the program like this:
    ./codificar [ENTER]

    TablaDeCodificacion.txt [ENTER]

    completo.txt [ENTER]

    completoCodificado [ENTER]

    does someone know how to do that?

    Read this website's tutorial on command line arguments.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
