Hi,
I'd like to know what's the best practice to create console applications that can accept switches (or keys - I am not sure about the terminology) when called. As an example, consider a simple hello world application that has 3 different outputs:
1. HELLO WORLD
2. hello world
3. Hello World

I want the output be HELLO WORLD if I run helloworld.exe -u, hello world if I run helloworld.exe -l and Hello World if I run helloworld.exe -c.

As an extension, I want to be able to use 2 or more switches/keys, when calling my application. (This might be easy once the first problem is solved!)

Thanks!

You may want to look at these links: Command line arguments, and command line arguments 2.

I think they're called flags if I'm not wrong.

Or Parameters.
