Prevent Console Application from closing to fast...

[Matthias]

Hi there,

i'm very new to programming in C (new to programming anywhere).
How can i prevent the console from closing very fast after running a programm (for instance when i compile "hello world" and let it run i see the console popping up but it closes so fast i can't recognize anything...)

Thanks for you tipps and advices!

Matthias

P.S.: Sorry for my bad englisch!

The simple solution is:

Code Select Expand


int main()
{
 std::string str;
 std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
 std::cin >> str;
 return 0;
}

Code Select Expand


#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}


might work fine as well...

But then, it doesn't seem to work for Matthias. :?

The simple solution is:

aben, this is the way some other IDE does it. We provide the solution without you having to edit your code

Matthias, if you 're still having problems, read this thread.

Ok, the new console_runner you supplied adds this feature.
-Now I ask, is there any way to close the console automatically when my application terminates - some settings in the environment for instance?

It seems that the supplied console_runner.exe with the finalbeta setup was screwed. Sorry guys.

LOL! I never expected this. It was always the other way around  :lol:
Anyway, submit a feature request and I 'll make it configurable.

Feature request submitted...
I believe that it would really begin to annoy me if I had to press enter after each run. -So for now I'll use the "screwed" version of the console_runner
