RE: [Dev-C++] 2 questions

[Ramana K. <ra...@my...>]

thanks very much
i would have been a little disturbed too. i am not too familiar with the
workings of command line arguments and was just copying a bit out of a text
book.
thanks for correcting me

I'm a little disturbed by the description given below.  I'm pretty sure
that argc includes the name of the executable, so that "bot.exe level3.bot"
would have argc == 2.  I know that argv[0] contains the name of the
executable, because UN*X systems use this to distinguish behaviors for
symlinked executables (don't ask, it isn't possible on Windows, and it is
slightly odd anyway).  The practical upshot is that, for the example above,
argv[0] would be "bot.exe" and argv[1] would be "level3.bot".
