hey all :)
I'm making a console program, and I want to do that when you run it from the terminal, you can give arguments like -debug (./program -debug). How do i get whether an argument is set or not in the code? i've tried #ifdef debug, but it didn't work.

Command line arguments are passed as parameters to main. The first parameter gives you the number of arguments (including the program name) and the second gives you an array of strings containing the actual arguments:
#include <iostream>
int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
// The first argument is the program name, if available
if ( argc > 1 ) {
for ( int i = 1; i < argc; i++ )
std::cout<< argv[i] <<'\n';
}
}thanks, it worked :D
