Command Line Parameters

[Tom Backton]

void main(int argc, int** argv)
{
   /* ... */
}

argv is an array of agrc pointers of type char* , each representing a character sequence.

int WINAPI WinMain(
    HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpCmdLine,
    int nCmdShow
);

Now lpCmdLine contains the whole command line...(without the program name itself). Two questions:
1. Why can't WinMain() get an array like main() ?
2. Does lpCmdLine contain the argv[] sequences together with spaces between parameters? In other words, how do I get the parameters from lpCmdLine?

Because Windows works differently than Unix.

Use CommandLineToArgvW()

Good luck!

But I'm not using wide characters... Anyway, I'll just write my own parsing function. Thanks for the help :)
