how to debug VC++ program, input file not open while debuging

Question

i am using Visual studio 8. i pass command line argument to my program when i execute the program using exe file it works fine but when i use to debugg. it is unable to open the input file which i have given it in the form of command line argument. although i have given the command line argument in the Project->properties->debug->command line arguments....

e.g "program.exe" input_file output_file

input file contains data which i have to use in the calculation if i am unable to debug it. how can i remove the errors in my program

reply me thanks

Answer 1

You may need to specify the working directory on that same property page in order to have your debug executable run in the same directory as your input file. Right now it's probably not able to pass your file because it can't find it.

Answer 2

You should not include "program.exe" in the command line arguments.
