[cdt-dev] How do I get eclipse/cdt to read from the standard input?

Hello-
   I am new to eclipse and accustomed to writing c/c++ programs using the command line.  I have a c/c++ project I am trying to understand written by someone else, so I thought using eclipse would make the job easier since I can use the debugger (this program runs strictly under linux, so microsoft is not an option).  I have what I believe is a very simple question.  Let's say I want to run a program called "my_program".  This program first collects several arguments (written in Boulder I/O format) from the standard input.  The Boulder I/O values are placed in a file called "my_input_file".  So it looks something like this:

arg1=14
arg2=your_name
arg3=55.6

  The program can be successfully run on the command line as follows:

[]$./my_program < my_input_file

  I know how to run my program using Eclipse, but I don't know how to get it to read the arguments out of a file like this.  Is this possible?  The first thing I tried was under the Arguments tab typing:

< my_input_file

  But, no dice.    I'd appreciate any help; thanks!
