C/C++ :: Calling Files From Command Line?
Apr 23, 2015
In the following program I have one input .txt file of random words.
Example:
DOOR FLAG APPLE
CAR
I need to create output .txt file which will invert and print every word in the next row.
Example:
ROOD
GALF
ELPPA
RAC
When I run the program with command line arguments:
program.exe FILEINPUT.TXT FILEOUTPUT.TXT
I get the output same as input.
Here is the program:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
void form(char **a,char **b,int n,char* (*t)(char *));
void invert_words(char *);
void form(char **a,char **b,int n,char* (*t)(char *)) {
[code].....

I have written a C++ program that is supposed to open two text files (prog2a.dat and prog2b.dat) and write the contents of a specified range of lines to an output file (outfile.dat). I wrote a program that based on the example we were given (to take lines 5-15 from the first file and lines 4-12 of the second file and merge them into the output file) works perfectly. However, after asking my professor for some clarification on another part of the assignment, I found out I have not done this correctly. I have the code written so that it will always output the range of lines I mentioned earlier, but the program is actually supposed to allow the user to merge the files from the command line using whatever range they want by typing in the following command:
prog2 in1 5-15 in2 4-12 outfile
But I'm not sure how to tweak my current program to allow this to be done.
Here is the code that I have written, keep in mind that this works properly for the way it is written, but not how it is supposed to work for the purposes of the command line (hopefully that makes sense):
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// Create output file
std::ofstream outFile("outfile.dat", ios::out);
[Code] .....
Is there any simple way to make this work as I described using the command line? Also, I am supposed to break this up into three files, a header file, the program file, and a test file (the test file contains main() and should close the 3 open files and display any error messages), but I'm getting really confused as to what should go in the header file. I know the header file should contain class definitions and constructors, but don't really know how to make that work for this specific program?

The below program is supposed to display the contents of all files listed in the command line. When I try to run the program I get the fatal error "Debug Assertion Failed" Expression: file != NULL. I've done some researching on the matter and I gather it might be because I don't have any files listed in the command line?
How to enter files in the command line! I opened the Command Window in Windows XP and tried typing in "C> argc" and "% argc" (argc being the name of the file containing the below program) without any luck.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
int ch; // int to hold EOF
int count;
FILE *fp;
for(count = 1; count <= argc; count++) // agrc loop
[Code]...

I am having an issue with the statement "Both the input and output files' names should be read from the command line." I don't understand what this means or what I need to do.

a
in
diverged

I write a program which now works perfectly well. However, I want to make it run at the right time automatically, instead of waiting for a user to start it when needed.
The basic problem is, that in a WinPE environment an exe is running. Unfortunately it would need critical input, which must be inputted perfectly. So, I wrote a program which gets the data and sends it to the other app, by bringing it to the front and presses the keys needed using SendInput().
However, this program should wait for it's cue, then get on the inputting part. It's cue should be the point where the program waits for the first user input with this displayed on the last line:
Text:
My question is: how to listen and check whether the last line displayed is "Text:"?
I've tried with AttachConsole(), but for some reason it opens a new console window. I checked and the PID I'm using is the console window's, so I don't know why that happens.
The few lines I'm trying with:
HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL, "Administrator: Command Prompt");
SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);
SetFocus(hwnd);
DWORD process_id;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &process_id);
[Code] ...
Please don't criticize the first line. I know it can be ambiguous, but I modified it, When actually using it, the exe name will be in the title, so it will be unique.

int get_command_line (char * sa) {
char * s;
char * l = fgets(s, 300*5, stdin);
int i = 0;
int j;
int n;
[Code] ....
The aim is to have the function return the number of arguments made after assigning each of the arguments to a c string stored in an array of five pointers. This is how I declare this:
int main(void)
int n;
char s0[300];
char s1[300];
char s2[300];
char s3[300];
[Code] ....

I'm trying to read in a file specified in the command line but I'm having some trouble. The command line entry specifies the inputfile preceded by '<' and the output file preceded by '>' like so
./program -v < input_file.cmd > output_file.cmd
This is what I've got so far.
int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
string strv="-v";
string input="<";
string output=">";
string str;
string input_file;
const char* in=input_file.c_str();
[Code] .....
This compiles ok, but when i run it using :
./program -v < test1.cmd
I get a segfault, if i cout argc it returns '2' where i would expect for this command line entry, I 'd get 4.
I'm not yet outputting to file, just to the screen so im not specifying an output file yet.

I have found this C++ online compiler (to use when I am at work): Compile and Execute C++ online
When you write and compile a program, on the right side (the "output" side), you can read this command line arguments:
$ g++ main.cpp -o demo -lm -pthread -lgmpxx -lreadline 2>&1
What is the meaning of the following arguments? -lm [link the math header file, right?]
-pthread
-lgmpxx
-lreadline
Any book (ebook, tutorial, printed book, whatever) where I can find all (absolutely all) these and other possible arguments?

I'm currently working on making a program that is run through a GUI run through the command line. The program basically takes an app file and a boot file and runs it through a bunch of functions and generates a new outfile. Anyway I'm new to C and can't figure out how to code it so I can type the two file paths into the command line and read them into the function. Is it possible to do this within the "if else" statement?
Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
const char * const SrcFilePath;
const char * const SRecordPath;
const char * const FopIspFilePath;

I tried the exercise 5 on page 312 of King's Book C programming A modern approach second edition. Write a program named sum.c that adds up its command line arguments which are assumed to be integers . Running the program by typing :
sum 8 24 62 should produce the following input
Total : 94
Use the atoi function to convert each command line argument from string form to integer form
My solution is :
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(int argc , char *argv[])
{
int i , sum=0;
}
[code]...
It is running good without problems but I am wondering because it is very small solution with few lines of code.

I have to make a c++ program, in which with an algorithm I have to code a text from a file and write it to another file. The input should like this: "code forCoding.txt toBeWritten.txt" ; or like this: "decode toBeReadFor.txt toBeWrittenIn". I have done everything except one thig: It is says I have to be able to input parameter.
How should i write this? I read [URL] ....., but still dont get. The input of my program has to have 3 strings, so I guess argc should be 3, but I dont really get it. What should I have in my main about this parsing command line parameters?

I am not sure how to enter command line arguments when I run the executable of the file below. I want check an make sure that only two arguments get into the main() before running the rest of the code. I'm using bash on linux.
An example that I have tried to test for 2 arguments in command line -arg1 arg2 > ./a.out This of course does not work
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>

I know you go the the debugger and pass them in. I just need to know the syntax. I know &(ProjectDir) goes first because the text file is in the project directory but how do I pass the text file in as well. The file's name is "tester.txt".

I know this works as expected if your command line arguments are strings.
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
printf("Program name %s
", argv[0]);
if( argc == 2 ) {
printf("The argument supplied is %s
", argv[1]);
[code]...
Would you be able to do something similar to this if you have integers or would you need to use the first method then convert it with atoi?
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, int *argv[] ) {
printf("Program name %s
", argv[0]);
if( argc == 2 ) {
[code]...

I have "hello world" set for command line args.
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
printf("%s %s", argv[1],argv[2]);
}
That code produces
w
r
d
Why would it do that.

I'm making a command line program for Maemo but have got a problem reading the args.
main.cpp
Code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "exceptions.h"
using namespace std;
struct settings {
//settings() : force(false), deps(false), repo(false) {}
[Code] ....
exceptions.cpp contains bodies of these functions.
Unfortunately the program doesn't seem to recognize the arguments
Code:
marcin@marcin:~/proj/meeinstall$ ./meeinstall -h
-h
Filename not provided.
Exiting...
How can I fix it?

I want to run the following code from the command line:
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#ifdef ABC
const int num = 105;
[Code] ....
But I can not activate the ABC macro from the command line.
I'm trying to use the -d ABC option following the .exe file name, but I could not run the ABC macro.
How can I activate the ABC macro when I run the .exe file from the Windows 7 command line?

I'm fairly new to C++ and have been understanding until Ive hit this rock. Im trying to figure out how to indicate whether or not a first command line argument interpreted as an integer is a multiple of the sum of its own digits. I understand that logic as if you type 20 = 2(2+0) where 2 is a multiple and 3113 = 8 which is not a multiple but i feel hopeless trying to set it up. And here is my code.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char*argv[])

I stumbled into this forum in frustration as I tried to pass a string with both quotes and spaces into a single variable. I have looked up a couple places online, and even saw an old post here (Handling spaces in command line arguments) However, I still cannot seem to get the following string (in between the ---'s) to stay in one command line argument.
---copy c:ToolsDomainjoinAdminGroup.cmd C:"UsersAdministratorAppDataRoamingMicrosoft WindowsStart Menu"Programsstartup---
