Unable to execute code and pass parameters in NETBEANS or ECLIPSE

[adam25]

I'm trying to execute the following code in netbeans & eclipse but without success.
http://read.pudn.com/downloads150/sourcecode/comm/651136/NmeaConverter.cpp__.htm
Program has command-line parameter: -f D:\nmea.txt

Eclipse says:

Not sure about Eclipse. It's most likely quite similar to NetBeans, though possibly with diferent categories and subcategoreies. All Projects will have a "Properties" option, with a bunch of sub-options. In NetBeans, right-click your C++ project and select "Properties". Select the "Run" category from within "Properties". Within "Run", Select "General" (it's the only option). Within "General", there is an option called "Arguments". That's where you type in the command line arguments to be passed to the main function. Save it, recompile (recompile probably isn't necessary, but can't hurt), and run again.

[EDIT]
Wait a minute, those look like compiler errors. Runtime arguments are irrelevant if it doesn't compile. Is this a NetBeans-specific thread or a generic thread asking for help on C++ code?

Well, pretty much everywhere in the code, you use a single < where you need two (outputting with streams). That will fix your problem. And you also need to #include to get the strlen function.

I replaced all < with << and it worked fine. Thanks very much everyone for the help!
