main(int argc, char* argv[])

When started from VC6 IDE, I receive 7 arguments in argc/argv. When
started from console I receive 8 arguments in argc/argv. What should I do?
This is how I strat my console app from debugger:
-p1 -p2 -p3 -p4 -p5 -p6 -p7

This is how I start my console app from console:
TestApp -p1 -p2 -p3 -p4 -p5 -p6 -p7

I've tryed to add "TestApp" in a front of debugger argument list, but
then I have to change argv[3] into argv[4] in my app, if my app was invoked
from VC6 IDE, but I don't know if my console app was started from VC6 IDE or
console.

I'm using Windows XP Pro.

Display them all to understand where you get the extra argument.

You mean this is your "command line arguments" setting in the project?
It should give you 8 arguments, numbered from 0 through 7, the 0th being
the actual program.

Of course you don't. Figure out where the extra argument comes from and
you're going to be fine.

With all due respect, I think you have a typo in either one place or the
other or both. You think you have "-p1 ... -p7", but you are probably
missing one in the project.

That shouldn't matter.
