How do I parse command line arguments in Java?

Question

What is a good way of parsing command line arguments in Java?

Answer 1

what do you mean command line arguments?

Answer 2

String args[] is an array of strings that contain the command line arguments.

a[0] is the first command line argument

a[1] is the second command line argument

a[2] is the third command line argument

etc.

THe following command line prompt passes 4 command line arguments to the program myprog.

EX> javac myprog.java

EX>. java myprog one two three four <ENTER>

a[0] = "one"

a[1] = "two"

a[2] ="three"

a[3] = "four"

Here's the code:

// tests command line paramters

class CLP

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

for (int iLoop=0; iLoop<args.length; iLoop++)

{

System.out.println(args[iLoop]);

}

}

}
