How would I go about adding parameters to a console application? So if I ran it from command prompt with this: (text.exe -j) it would run the app with that parameter. How would I go about doing that?

Solution 1

There's an article[^] here at CP that tells you how exactly to do it.

Goodluck!

Solution 2

Please consider using my Command Line utility; it is very robust yet easy to use and automates declaration of parameters and even documenting them:
Enumeration-based Command Line Utility[^].

The article also accurately explains how it works in case you want to do all by yourself.
