How to run a Cpp from windows terminal?

Question

i was working in a small project. where i have to work with file.bmp. now i have invert the image and save it. after that user can run the cpp file in terminal and can see the result with comand line argumeng. so can you please tell me how can i run my cpp on terminal and how to pass a argument so that user can just see the image from the folder with that argument.

Answer 1

Create a new textfile in the folder of your executable called start.bat

Write following in this file
@echo off
[yourProgName].exe input.bmp output.bmp
mspaint output.bmp

Answer 2

Create a so called batch file. The file ending is .bat or .cmd

Another way is to create a link to this file and pass the argument in the options dialog of that linkfile

Answer 3

i already passed the argument. like inputImage.bmp resultImage.bml .
so while user will run my cpp from the termin it will take the inputImage.bmp and invert it and then save it as resultImage.bmp. so my intention is how a user can see the image from termin after compiling the cpp file

Answer 4

You can not show bmp in terminal in the way you would like it. But if you create the script you could call an image viewer and pass the path of your output file to it.

Answer 5

but whenever someone compile the cpp terminal already know the path. so after that if user input the resultImage.bmp it should pop up right?

Answer 6

Then pass the name of that file to the image viewer. Yep it will just pop up.

Answer 7

can you please tell me how to compile a cpp file from .cmd? could do do this even i showed the termind using cd , dir comand

Answer 8

Or you could get the directory of the file, so for example lets say the file is called test.cpp and is in Desktop we would do ```
cd Desktop/
g++ hello.cpp
./a.out
#We do ./a.out as we are calling the file created called a.out and running it
```
