Identifying values for arguments in asp.net c#

Question

I'm searching online for converting video and capturing thumbnail image after uploading the video file. I found something similar with this link http://ramcrishna.blogspot.com/2008/09/playing-videos-like-youtube-and.html but there's something I want to clarify on it. On the argument section he declared string value which shown like this

 string filargs = "-i\"" + inputfile + "\" -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320×240 -aspect 4:3 -y \"" + outputfile + "\"";

I want to know what is the exact actual value for 'inputfile' and 'outputfile' variable that he declared on the argument string? Thanks...

Answer 1

Get Environment.CommandLine and parse it into strings such as:

string[] commandLineParts = Environment.CommandLine.Split(' ');

Now you can iterate through the strings in the array and parse out what you to process, based on the argument starting with "-i\" or "-y\"
