Title: How do I get argv[0] in windows?
Post by: tpekar on April 24, 2014, 07:01:23 PM

In a console program the path and program name (and suffix) is available in the argv array as argv[0].  How do I get this in windows? ???

GetCommandLine() and find first space (outside ").
Or use frankie's code from here (http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=6181.msg22673#msg22673)

Thanks timoVJL.  I found where I had user GetModuleFileName in a program to get it.  Have not tried GetCommandLine before.
