using cammand line

I'm not sure what it is called, but I want to make a c++ app that uses comand line stuff.

Like from the program I can put a command line prompt thing and it will do it.

That is a horible explanation I know, but I just need to be ponited in the right direction.

You have tutorial on cmd line arguments here : http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson14.html .

hrmm umm let me re explain.

Oh this is hard to explain, like the windows comand promt, but in my own app.

You think on, for example, you have Application window, and you want your own command prompt in it?

Something like this?
-> See attachment.

it is from atomic tanks -> http://atanks.sourceforge.net/
Download source code and find the console.

alright I think somtin like that, somthing were you type in:

createexe file exe -o

and than that for say creates an exe from file with the name exe (just somtin random I made up)

you are talking about command line arguements,
which is what "81N4RY_DR460N" had posted in his
first message.


it would let you get commands from the command line


such as :


createtxt.exe -filename "file.txt"

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    cout << argv[0] << endl << endl;
    cout << argv[1] << endl << endl;
    cout << argv[2] << endl << endl;
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}
