    MS Developer help

    I wanted to know how to provide arguments when using the MS Developer interface

    F5 runs the program with no arguments.


    CTRL + F5 does the same.

    also, if i placed a breakpoint when using the MS Developer environment, how can i use that breakpoint from the Command line interface.

    right now, it just wont see the breakpoint, it just drops right through.

    Press F1, read the help.

    Quzah.
    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Breakpoints will only be "followed" if you run the executable within the IDE.

    Command line arguements can be added under Project ->Project Settings.

    general
    debug
    c/c++
    link
    resources
    browse info
    custom build
    pre-link step
    post-build step

    how can i put the command line arguments in there.
    or isthere some sort of check box which i need to check/uncheck?

    I bet you didn't even look...

    Project -> Project Settings ->Debug Tab ->General Category->Program Arguments

    Self explanatory from here.

    thanks dude
    i was lost in the tabs
    one more problem
    i wrote this code
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
    	int i;
    	int numbers[10];
    	for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    		numbers[i]=10+i;
    
    	for(i=5;i<10;i++)
    		numbers[i]=i;
    
    	for(i=0;i<10;i++)
    		printf("%d ",numbers[i]);
    
    	for(i=0;i<argc;i++)
    		printf("\n%d	%s",i, argv[i]);
    	
    
    	if(argv[2] == "-a")
    		printf("Ascending");
    	else
    		printf("Descending");
    
    	getch();
    	return 0;
    }
    now i put the arguments -a -a -a in the project,-settings-debug-...

    but i can not get the Ascending message, instead i get the Descending message.

    >>if(argv[2] == "-a")
    Lookup strcmp().

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
