Thread: arguments in main

So I have decided to put down the ms c++ and go linux for my first program this semester. It went well, got the hang of emacs,g++, and gtb. I was thinking "Hey , I can deal with this stuff. No need to usw MS product for my stumble through the C++ programming". There is just one problem here. How do set my main arguments when I run my program. Here is my code.

Code:

#include  <iostream>
#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

void convert(int input,int base, int counter);
void add(int);
void report();



int main(int argv, char*argv[] )
{
  cout<< argv<<endl; // print to test argument
  
...
....
.....

when I run a.open 40. It prints 2.
Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Code:

int main(int argc, char*argv[] )
{
  cout<< argv[1] <<endl; // print to test argument

You the man Kleid-O!
