How can I get the C/C++ builder portion of Eclipse to behave like the typical bash shell in linux when the executable is run which needs arguments?

% my_program_name my_parameter1 myparameter2

It is easy to have the program, once running, ask for input, but this is for input before the program is invoked.

Thanks!

P.S. CDT reports that the program ran fine with no input, but gave the typical Args: Command Options error output that I set in the part of the program parsing input, in red font. I prefer NOT to hard set the arguments.

Run->Run Configurations -> C/C++ Applications -> Arguments -> Program
arguments

The proposed solution is exactly what I was trying to avoid (no offense meant) Please note that I meant that command parameters were to be given to the program before Eclipse actually started up, but in an interactive command line window.

You can use the Variables button on the Arguments tab of the Launch
Config to specify a String Prompt. This will popup a window prompt when
you invoke the launch. You can type your arguments into the prompt text
field. The text you type is parsed as it would be from the command
line. Spaces separate arguments. Double quotes will be stripped and
the text inside passed as one argument.
