So I try "\-126" and get a compile error. Any other ideas?

-126 is 82 hex -- try \x82

If you wish, your program can assume that if there was nothing on the command line, redirection is being used. In that case, instead of using the fopen(), simply assign stdin to your stream:

FILE *stream;

if (argc < 2)
{
    stream = stdin;
}
else
{
    stream = fopen(argv[i],"r");
    if (stream==NULL) 
   ...
}

This allows your program to take a file
> prog file.name

redirected file
>prog <file.name

or from the keyboard
>prog
