DOS pipe question

[webbmeister]

if I compile the following code to an exe (c:\list.exe) ...

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()

For i=1 To 10

PrintN("Line "+Str(i))

Next i

Comiled as as UTF-8, Console

If I open a dos prompt and type...

C:>List.exe >c:\list.txt

the output is not
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
etc



I'm sure is something to do with ANSI vs UFT-8

But...

Code: Select all

Print("Test"+#crlf)

...works (hopefully).

[webbmeister]

I Get "Constant Not Found:#crlf"

[netmaestro]

#CRLF$

It has the $ on the end to denote that it's a string constant.

That's folks, that works great. Why does PrintN() not do the same? It's going to be a real pain to mod all the printn statements in my 2000 line project!! is there a way of making PrintN() behave its self??

Put this at the top of your source:

Code: Select all

Macro PrintN(Text)
    Print(Text + #CRLF$)
EndMacro

Untested but you get the idea.
