input txt file using Cmd line arguements

[chucker]

Im trying to use the command line to put a txt file in this code. I do Project->set project arguements in code blocks and nothing happens. How does one set up the arguements and where do i do it in codeblocks?

 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char name[20];
    struct artist *ptr;
    char lineBuffer[LINEBUFFERSIZE];
    artistNodePtr startPtr = NULL; /* initially the artist list is empty */
    FILE *musicFile;
    char *artistTemp, *discTemp, *yearTemp, *trackTemp, *songTemp;
    int year, track, menu = 1;
    artistNodePtr theArtist;
    discNodePtr theDisc;

    if (argc==1)
    {
        printf(" Must supply a file name as command line argument/n");
        return 0;
    }

    if ((musicFile = fopen(argv[1], "r")) == NULL)
    {
        printf ("Error opening music file.  Program terminated/n");
        return 0;
    }

    getNextLine(lineBuffer, LINEBUFFERSIZE, musicFile);
    while (!feof(musicFile))
    {

        artistTemp = strtok(lineBuffer,";");
        if (artistTemp == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error parsing input file; Program is terminated\n");
            return 0;
        }
        discTemp = strtok(NULL ,";");
        if (discTemp == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error parsing input file; Program is terminated\n");
            return 0;
        }
        yearTemp  = strtok(NULL ,";");
        if (yearTemp == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error parsing input file; Program is terminated\n");
            return 0;
        }
        trackTemp = strtok(NULL ,";");
        if (trackTemp == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error parsing input file; Program is terminated\n");
            return 0;
        }
        songTemp = strtok(NULL ,"\n");
        if (songTemp == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error parsing input file; Program is terminated\n");
            return 0;
        }

        year = atoi(yearTemp);
        track = atoi(trackTemp);

        theArtist = findOrInsertArtist(artistTemp);
        theDisc = findOrInsertDisc(&(theArtist->disc_p), discTemp, year);
        findOrInsertSong(&(theDisc->song_p), songTemp, track);

        getNextLine(lineBuffer, LINEBUFFERSIZE, musicFile);
    }  /* end of while loop */

Define "nothing happens".
And, BTW, did you debug your code? Did you see what happened after file opening (if it was opened), after reading its lines, and so on?

That is correct, but keep in mind you can set a different argument for each "Build Target": It is the drop down menu when you are writing the arguments.

If you set your arguments for the "Debug" build, but are compiling in "Release" then "nothing happens".
