Win32 API command line arguments parsing

Question

I\'m writing Win32 console application, which can be started with optional arguments like this:

app.exe /argName1:\"argValue\" /argName2:\"argValue\"
         


        

Answer 1

The only support that Win32 provides for command line arguments are the functions GetCommandLine and CommandLineToArgvW. This is exactly the same as the argv parameter that you have for a console application.

You will have to do the parsing yourself. Regex would be a good option for this.
