How to start with Cobra

[archeopteryx]

Alack and alas: one more tiny hurdle to overcome...

I can copy/paste the "How To" example progs into SciTE, and use "Tools | Run" in the editor to display program output in its "viewing pane" (and at the same time create a corresponding .exe file).

I can successfully run the .exe from a command prompt using Start | Run... and view program output.

On the other hand when i run the same .exe by couble-clicking its icon (black rectangle with horizontal blue stripe at the top) in the explorer window, a "DOS window" opens and shuts immediately, making it impossible to inspect the display.

Is there a "wait" or "don't_close_till_user_enters_a_character" function to prevent the above behaviour?

Thank you,

Try:

Code: Select all

input = Console.readline

Try:

Code: Select all

input = Console.readline

Thank you, thank you!
I did Console.readLine without an assignment.
It writes output to stdout, and creates a \r\n
The "DOS window" stays open with a blinking cursor
and closes when i press a key.

I daresay no more "alacks" and "alas'es" on this topic.

PS: I didn't know what to do with CODE: SELECT ALL
