CreateProcess doesn't pass command line arguments
- by mnh
Hello I have the following code but it isn't working as expected, can't figure out what the problem is.
Basically, I'm executing a process (a .NET process) and passing it command line arguments, it is executed successfully by CreateProcess() but CreateProcess() isn't passing the command line arguments
What am I doing wrong here??
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo; //This is what we get as an [out] parameter
STARTUPINFO StartupInfo; //This is an [in] parameter
ZeroMemory(&StartupInfo, sizeof(StartupInfo));
StartupInfo.cb = sizeof StartupInfo ; //Only compulsory field
LPTSTR cmdArgs = "[email protected]";
if(CreateProcess("D:\\email\\smtp.exe", cmdArgs,
NULL,NULL,FALSE,0,NULL,
NULL,&StartupInfo,&ProcessInfo))
{
WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess,INFINITE);
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);
CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);
printf("Yohoo!");
}
else
{
printf("The process could not be started...");
}
return 0;
}
EDIT: Hey one more thing, if I pass my cmdArgs like this:
// a space as the first character
LPTSTR cmdArgs = " [email protected]";
Then I get the error, then CreateProcess returns TRUE but my target process isn't executed.
