Reading Command Line into C++

[CSCImajor18]

I need to write a program that outputs the number of characters, words, and lines in the files that are supplied as command-line arguments. This is what I have so far, but I'm really confused as to what should be the next step:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc , char **argv)
{
cout<<"You provided "<<argc-1<<" arguments"<<endl;
cout<<"The name of the program is: "<<argv[0]<<endl;

if (argc > 3)
{
cout<<argv[1]<<argv[2]<<argv[3]<<endl;
}

system ("pause");
return 0;
}

in the files, like wc does: http://linux.die.net/man/1/wc

This link is perfect, thank you ! When it comes to coding, do you have an example of how it looks in Visual Studios? We haven't done anything with Linux, so I've learned something today
