Launch app by opening a file

[Windsoarer]

This beginner's question must surely have been asked and aswered already, however the search through this forum gives nothing.

I have created the links to associate a given file extension to my app. Having done that, is there a method to process the parameters in main(int argc, char *arg[]) to get the file name ?

The *char array apparently is the app path concatenated with the file path, but is it possible to get the file path only ?

Thanks in advanced for any help

I finally figured it out

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QString PathName, Extension;
	PathName=argv[1];
 
	Extension = PathName.right(4);
	if(Extension.compare(".ext",Qt::CaseInsensitive)==0)
	{
		LoadFile(PathName);
	}
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QString PathName, Extension;
	PathName=argv[1];

	Extension = PathName.right(4);
	if(Extension.compare(".ext",Qt::CaseInsensitive)==0)
	{
		LoadFile(PathName);
	}
}

You could also have used QFileInfo::suffix
