You need to post your code in Code blocks so we can see why you are "facing many errors".
Make sure your warnings are turned on and set to highest warning level. Don't know what compier you are using.
Are you defining your main() function as:This will allow Command Line Arguments to be passed to your program.Code:int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // ... return 0; }

yes but i am saying that i want to pass string arguments.Originally Posted by rstanley
like someone enter two arguments :
yum upgrade
then first it will take yum then take upgrade then it will go to yum function and then give it upgrade argument then if argument upgrade is detected it will run system("yum upgrade")
All command line arguments ARE pass as "String" arguments, even numbers.
int argc contains the number of strings on the command line. One for the program name (Usually) and one for each argument to the program.
"mycommand yum upgrade" argc would be 3, and argv is an array of pointers to the strings on the command line, program name and each argument. At least under gcc and most hosted environment compilers. Again, I don't know your O/S or compiler.
