@Ratty67 You are right. The scenario does not REQUIRE command line arguments, but one might be added, for example you might want to include a parameter that allows you to select where to store the output file. Or to type in a custom name for the file. This would permit using the code somewhere else for some other purpose.

I wonder if I am missing something here. I do not see the need for any command line arguments. As the scenario reads, there is no choice that is required to be made. If we have access to C:\ then we MUST create a file named Process3.txt in the subfolder 2012SG\event3. Where is the value of command line arguments here ?

@Kyle the event specifically talks about checking for the folder, but does not specifically mention the file. If the file exists, you can either overwrite it or append to it ... that is a design point for you to make.

From the way this is worded, it can be assumed that the file does not exist therefor we do not need to check for it?

@Paul Cunningham if the file exists it should be appended to ... but if you choose to overwrite the file that is fine as well because I did not specify that in the design guidelines.

Got so giddy about submitting that I forgot to change the event. My Beginner 3 is in Advanced 1.

If the Process3.txt file exists do you want it appended or overwritten?
