The 0th Command-line Argument would contain the path of the executable file (but not the source code file).

Since I'm assuming that you need the path+filename of the current program, this example should show you how to obtain it:
CODE
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    cout<<argv[0];
    return 0;
}
