does anyone know what dbCL returns when it has no parameters null seems to get me errors "/0" dont work either.

and if anyone has got the following code to work i would love to know what they did with the below error.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=57438&b=22 is an excellent commandline parameter example with their own code created but it gives the following error "error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'LPWSTR' to 'char *'"

Yes, it returns an empty string, and NOT NULL.

AH the precious updates, I dont think you would be allowed to send the file so thats okay. Im still waiting for the dbGhosting commands to be fixed aswell. I will just have to wait for the update.

The Problem is my menu program executes another file which uses command line parameters. The executing passes a redirection to a pointer.

if trying to get command lines, there is always my old hacky method:

i presume it still works with the latest versions - kinda surprised dbCL() doesnt work yet though o.O

Or you could use __argc and __argv. They're exactly the same as the ones you'd get passed into main(), but they're available as global variables if you're compiling for Windows.

thanks kaiyodo just got the following to compile using __argc and __argv ill test when my download stops or sooner if i get impatient


and anyone interested in great command line parameters can use the header #include "CmdLine.h"
CCmdLine is a simple way to parse a command line into switches and arguments it works with both mfc and non mfc apps and im sure if you google it you will find plenty of help using it

The 3rd string function is only meant to be called if the compared values are all false ie maybe Autralia entered instead of australia so it should default to australia. And i was under the impression strcmp returns 1 if true and 0 if false so if all false it should copy Australia.

No, its the opposite way around.

= 0 - Strings compare
< 0 - One side is greater than the other
> 0 - Other side is greater than the other
