Specifying Program Arguments

You can specify program arguments when you load your program for debugging, and edit them at any time once your program is loaded.

When you enter arguments in the text box that contain characters that have special meaning to the shell, make sure you set them off with either a backslash (\) or quotes (" "). The special characters are | & ; < > ( ) $ ` \ " ' * ? [ ] Space Tab Newline.

To specify program arguments when loading a program, type the arguments in the Arguments text box of the Debug New Program dialog box as if you were typing them on the command line. Do not include the program name.

To edit program arguments once a program is loaded:

1. Choose Debug > Edit Run Parameters to open the Edit Run Parameters dialog box.

2. Add or change arguments in the Arguments text box.

3. Click OK.
