I'm trying to write windows console application working with
directories, and i
discover that arguments processed not right. For example:
#include <iostream>
int main ( int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[] ) {
std::cout << "you have " << argc << " arguments";
}
resulting:
a.exe "a a"
you have 2 arguments
This is correct because the first argument is a.exe.
a.exe "a a" a
you have 3 arguments
a.exe "a a\" a
you have 2 arguments
As i understand, backslash is escaping double quote and we have [a
a" a]
argument instead of [a a\],[a].
It's very sad, because i must operate with directories or UNC paths
like:
"\\serv\share\some dir with spaces\" where double quotes is required
and
backslash can be present.
Quoting long file paths with double quotes and backslashes in paths
is a common
thing in windows console programs.
