What about this case:

mssinp.exe -cf "C:\Temp\config.txt"

the value for the parameter will be splited as

[0] 'C'
[1] '\Temp\config.txt'

Answer 2

I recommend Richard Lopes' Command Line Arguments Parser. It is powerful and very simple to use. Also, it accepts various ways of specifying the arguments, for example:

• /name=Stefan
• --name=Stefan
• --name="Multiple words"
• -name 'Stefan'

Example Code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Arguments cmdline = new Arguments(args);

    Console.WriteLine(cmdline["name"]);
}
