PathGetArgs

LPTSTR PathGetArgs(
    LPCTSTR pszPath
    );

Finds the command line arguments within a given path.

Returns the address of the beginning of the command line arguments if successful, or NULL otherwise.

pszPath: Address of the path to be searched.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{

	// Path_1 to search for file arguments (2-Args):
	char buffer_1[] = "test.exe temp.txt sample.doc"; 
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

	// Path_2 to search for file arguments (3-Args):
	char buffer_2[] = "test.exe 1 2 3"; 
	char *lpStr2;
	lpStr2 = buffer_2;

	// Path_3 to search for file arguments (3-Args):
	char buffer_3[] = "test.exe sample All 15"; 
	char *lpStr3;
	lpStr3 = buffer_3;

	// Path_4 to search for file arguments (zero args):
	char buffer_4[] = "test.exe"; 
	char *lpStr4;
	lpStr4 = buffer_4;


cout << "The path passed to the function was : " << lpStr1 <<
        "\nThe arg(s)found in path 1 were      : " << PathGetArgs(lpStr1) << endl;

cout << "\nThe path passed to the function was : " << lpStr2 <<
        "\nThe arg(s)found in path 2 were      : " << PathGetArgs(lpStr2) << endl;

cout << "\nThe path passed to the function was : " << lpStr3 <<
        "\nThe arg(s)found in path 3 were      : " << PathGetArgs(lpStr3) << endl;

cout << "\nThe path passed to the function was : " << lpStr4 <<
        "\nThe arg(s)found in path 4 were      : " << PathGetArgs(lpStr4) << endl;
     
}

OUTPUT:
===========
The path passed to the function was : test.exe temp.txt sample.doc
The arg(s)found in path 1 were      : temp.txt sample.doc

The path passed to the function was : test.exe 1 2 3
The arg(s)found in path 2 were      : 1 2 3

The path passed to the function was : test.exe sample All 15
The arg(s)found in path 3 were      : sample All 15

The path passed to the function was : test.exe
The arg(s)found in path 4 were      :
