how to change c# form app to c# console app?

Turkalp Kucur

Hello My friends

I have a c# form which gets an image then outputs .txt

My aim is, I want to run int via console. For example when I type
>>ocr hello.jpg d:

It will run (with 1st argument filename: ocr) , get hello.jpg (second argument: input file) then save the hello.txt to d: (3rd last argument: path)

I have found a nice example which I attached. I can get the row number of arguments but I could not get the values.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace hello

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Console.WriteLine("Number of arguments:" + args.Length);

for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)

{

Console.WriteLine("Argument#" + i + ":" + args);

}

Console.ReadLine();

}

So, how could I pass the arguments to run it in this manner?

any idea, help will be so helpful.

I am waiting.

Hi Turkalap,

I have made only a small change to your code example and you can easily access it from command prompt.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace CommandLine
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Number of arguments:" + args.Length);
            for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Argument#" + i + ":" + args[i]);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

The args[i] will print the values of arguments on the console.

Go to the Visual Studio Command Prompt say like the following

D:\Prep\CommandLine\CommandLine\bin\Debug>Dir/x

You will find the .exe their

Then issue the command like this

D:\Prep\CommandLine\CommandLine\bin\Debug>CommandLine Hello.jpg D:

So what you need to do is that put the logic of file copy in a mathod and call it from Main()

Attached is the output snapshot.
