[Dev-C++] cmd line args

[Noorez K. <coo...@ho...>]

This program needs args passed to it with the cmd prompt. If it doesn't find 
any then it should display a message saying that you need the args but all I 
get is an error message upon opening the program.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main(int args, char* pszArgs[])//there needs to be args for this to work
{

  if(strcmp(pszArgs[1],"-nt")== 0)
  {

    //explain what the heck all this does
    cout << "Welcome to the easy program opener!\n";
    cout << "Hear is a list of programs that can be easy opened\n\n";
    cout << "To quit enter 0 or nothing for a program choice\n";

    cout << "1. Microsoft Office\n";
    cout << "2. Microsoft Paint\n";
    cout << "3. Calculator\n";
    cout << "4. Internet Explorer\n";

      cin.sync();

        cout << "Exiting easy opener...\n";
        //Sleep(1000);
