@Corona688: I don't get your comment unless I'm really misunderstanding the initial question.

The open poster is referring to argv so IMHO clearly asking about how parameters are split before calling the main function, not inside it.

The shell is also the usual way to launch a program and probably also the one the open poster is thinking of when referring to arguments being separated by a space character.

@gabam: about your separator question, can you clarify how you are calling your main and especially passing arguments to it. i.e. from the shell or from withing another C program ? In the latter case, with what function ?
