That is what I ment, thanks for correcting me, how about an example because I can't seem to write IN the console window.

So how do you write to a console window?

Yes, and still my console window appears blank.

EDITED: I didn't think console windows use double buffers either.

Cheers, I will use this method as Input isn't working. (My program would be alot simplier if this did work though)

I wanted to start with a simple console program but seem to be having trouble even displaying text on the console screen. The print command doesn't seem to do anything.

What other way can I get input from the keyboard and store it in a variable?

Hi everyone,

I am new to GLBasic and am having problems with basic input for the keyboard. The input command seems to behave different to other languages I have used.

If I write something simple like,

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

INPUT name$, 0, 0
after typing a name in and pressing the ENTER key this creates a blank space and doesn't move on within the program.

Should this behave like this? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have just downloaded GLBasic and just started to run through the tutorials and came across a problem, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

The tutorial has just got to explain variables this is what I tried:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LET A$ = "Hello World"
PRINT A$, 100, 100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END

I get this error no matter what I try with variables:

"HelloWorld.gbas"(5) error : variable is not explicitly defined : a$

Thanks.
