Eclipse: program arguments

Question

I have a program (called myprogram) that I build with Eclipse; I can start it from the command line as follows:

myprogram < myinifile

As you can you see, I pass as input the ini file "myinifile".

My question is how to pass it the input file when launching the program from within Eclipse using the Run command.

I know I can specify program arguments in Run / Run configurations / Tab: Arguments but how do I specify an input file?

"myinifile" --> doesn't work
"< myinifile" --> doesn't work either

This should help. stackoverflow.com/questions/799250/i-o-redirection-in-eclipse — KeithSmith

You can configure arguments in Run Configurations. In Commons tab you can redirect output in "Standard Input and Output" section. But, it appears there is no option to redirect input.

If you have control over the application and can modify it, see Eclipse reading stdin (System.in) from a file for some options.
