int WINAPI WinMain ( HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR pszArguments, int ) { std::string strTitle(pszArguments); ...
I have written a Windows application that expects a file name as a command line argument. If I compile the program with a either the Borland or Micrsoft compilers I get just the file name as the command line argument when I run the program.
However if I compile the program with the Cygwin compiler I get some like the following for the command line argument when I run the program:
"Directory\\Directory\\Program.exe\" Filename "
Need just a bit more information that that. What is the code you are using? WinMain?
This is make things akward. I'm not sure why Cygwin is doing this when other compilers don't.
Does Cygwin provide an API or other strategy to deal with this scenario?
Well, again that depends. My name is luke and I need to see the source. ;-) For example, this mingw (AKA Windows native) application
--- CUT HERE --- #include <stdio.h>
void main (int argc, char **argv) { printf ("My name is %s,\nHello, %s\n", argv[0] /* The program (executable file) name */, argv[1] ? argv[1] : "No name" /* First argument (if) passed to the program */); } --- CUT HERE ---
Will print out the name of the program. On Cygwin
My name is ./test1
Hello, Zippy
and on Windows (from a command prompt)
My name is G:\Cygwin\root\tmp\test1.exe
Hello, George and Bungle
