use of argc and argv

[Claudio Varini]

Hallo,
is the use of argc and argv to pass input parameters "object oriented"?

Or in C++ is better to use other approaches (es the command cin)?

Thanks

There is AFAIK no other way to pass parameters to a program. What you
can do is to wirte a OO CommandlineHander, which takes these parameters
Or in C++ is better to use other approaches (es the command cin)?

This will not work, becaue, it can only read such params while the
program is running, not when it starts.

HTH && Kind regards,

What exactly do you mean by "obhect oriented"?

I don't know what you're talking about. What has cin to do with argc and
argv?

Those command line parameters are simply a count of the number of parameters
and an array of that many character arrays. You simply treat them as
variables. They're not objects, and they also can't be "read" using cin.
When main() executes, they're passed in as parameters to that function, just
like parameters to any other function. What is it you are trying to do?
(You should be able to find many examples of using those if you search the
web. Try groups.google.com.)
