I'm building a file format converter for someone who at best takes more
than his fair share of IT helpdesk hours
So I want to make it as simple as possible. What I want it to do is,
run:
program.exe file.txt
When I drop file.txt onto the executable file. In other words, take
whatever file dropped onto the executable as the second CLI arugment.
I don't know how this works, but I have seen it before with the OggDrop
Encoder, where you drop your audio file onto the executable and it
outputs an .ogg encoded file. I've also seen it in pure CLI
executables.. But from working with the OggDrop Source I dont see
anything that would allow me to do what they are doing. And the other
utilities are closed source, so no luck there.
Any Insights, Help or Misc. Commentary would be greatly appreciated.
