You might want to try using ARGV/ARGC functions do this. They are generally
used to count (parse) the number of characters entered by the user at a
command line. The only real problem with this approach is that ARGV/ARGC
will see a string of characters as a single argument unless it has a space
separator (example axfji is only 1 argument but a x f j i is five
arguments). One other thing to note as well with Argv and Argc, the program
execution name (name of your program .exe will be considered the first
argument as far as argv/argc are concerned, and since it will by default use
zero indexing, begin with argument 0). I hope that this helps...
