Netbeans IDE for C++ how to specify command line arguments

Question

How do I specify command line arguments for a netbeans C++ project?

There does not seem to be a suitable place on debug tab.

Answer 1

To specify command line arguments for a C++ project in netbeans go to:

Project properties => Run => Run Command

The default is:

"${OUTPUT_PATH}"

Change that to:

"${OUTPUT_PATH}" hi 5

The create main.cpp with this code:

int main(int argc, char** argv) {      cout << "First argument: " << argv[1] << endl;     cout << "Second argument: " << argv[2] << endl;     return 0; } 

Produces output:

First argument: hi Second argument: 5  RUN SUCCESSFUL (total time: 320ms)
