Command Line Arg in VC++ 2010

Question

command line arguments having null after each char suppose i call the program from the command prompt like "abc.exe test data" then in memory there is an space after each char and the data is "t.e.s.t..d.a.t.a" What is the issue. It is printing t only the first char not the complete string "test" What is the issue. int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { printf("The number of Argc %d %s",argc,argv[1]); return 0; }

Answer 1

You are using UNICODE encoding (see the _t prefix in _tmain and _tchar). This encoding stores characters on 2 bytes.

Hence you should use _tprintf instead of printf.
