c - Code Blocks redirecting input output

Question

I'm new to code blocks, and I can't seem to get it to work with command line arguments of < input > output. Does anyone know how to?

I'm currently able to read a file passed from argv[1] but, the program doesnt automatically read the input from the given file nor does it right the output to the file output.

I'm aware it is on set program's arguments, my arguments line is: list.txt < input > output

After some research I saw a guy doing it like this: < ./input > ./output, seems like running a program to give the input and output, anyways, I've also tried that to no avail. Do I need to use file handlers to interact with it? It doesn't make sence, simple getchar() should read from the passing input file.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I have found a way how to do it in CB 13.12

Tools -> Configure Tools -> Add:

Name: whatever
Executable: C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe
Parameters: /C ${TARGET_OUTPUT_BASENAME} exampleArg1 <inputFileRedirect.txt
Working Directory: ${TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR}

It basicaly launches windows console and passes Parameters to it. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to these tools. The only disadvantage i can see is that the tools are not project specific.
