Program runs, but DOS window disappears......

[amandanelson]

Hi All,
I wonder if you can help, i'm a new user. I've typed in my program, and it's compiled, when i go to run the program, i can type in the inputs but the command line prompt won't stay longer than a second to be able to see the results. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, is there a similar command to the 'writeln' in Pascal to stop this happening.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Amanda

By default, the DOS screen closes when it is finished. An easy get-around to this is to have the program wait for input before the end of the program. For example, if you are using streams you could do something like:

char c;
cin >> c;
return 0; // The final return for the MAIN function.

Or you could change the settings for you Window's DOS screens that make them wait for you to manuallt close them. James P. Cottingham
