Command Line parsing with a win32 app

[RStout]

OK I have seen all kinds of messages about parsing a command line switch but I cannot get it to work. I am a green as it comes with msvc. I found that if I use lpCmdLine it will give me the complete switch as a string but I read that was a no no. So how do you parse out the switches. I only need two switches.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>


int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{

HKEY hRegistryKey;
char *sBuffer;
sBuffer = lpCmdLine; What I want here is the first and second switches.
bla bla bla
}

I am so green I don't even understand what to do with the .h and .ccp files.

Help?

Use a split function

#include <vector>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int split(vector<string>& v, const char* s, char c)
    {
        v.clear();
        while (true) {
            const char* begin = s;

            while (*s != c && *s) { ++s; }

        v.push_back(string(begin, s));

        if (!*s) {
                break;
            }

            if (!*++s) {
                v.push_back("");
                break;
            }
        }
        return v.size();
    } 

Usage:

vector <string> bs;
split(bs, STRING GOES HERE, ' ');

//Get values:
bs[0].c_str();
bs[1].c_str();
bs.empty();

//Destroy
