question: passing a command line argument into program

[hoggle]

I need to pass a path into my application so I can set a media player to play the passed in file.
I have to run the program through the command line can someone help me with passing a string in from teh commadn line?
thanks

your main should be desinged as

int main(int argc, char** argv)


If you put command line arguments on the command line, argc will be greater then one and all command line arguments will be in argv[1 thru argc-1]

If you are only passing the directory, all you need to worry about is argv[1]

sorry I didn't make myself 100% clear I'm doing a MFC application I saw in the MSDN that you use

int wmain( int argc[ , wchar_t *argv[ ] [, wchar_t *envp[ ] ] ] );

but I can't figure out how to use it
thanks for the help so far
