Hello PB Team,

Support for Console mode (Windows and LINUX!)

Is the folowing an option in PB?

OpenFile(stdio,#myconsole$)
WriteString("ESC[32;mThis would be nice")

The above write Binary to the stdio. ASNI is an example but could
be anything usefull in binary.

Hope its an Idea.

Greetings,
Norman.

Have you tried something like this?

OpenConsole()
PrintN("ESC[32;mThis would be nice")

Also, don't Windows and Linux have a special console file handler? You could try using somethng like:

; For Windows
OpenFile(#myconsole, "CON:")
WriteString("ESC[32;mThis would be nice")

; For Linux
OpenFile(#myconsole, "/dev/tty0")
WriteString("ESC[32;mThis would be nice")

I doubt the device names are correct though.

Hi tinman,

I tried, but dont seem to get it working overhere on windows
probably someting i do wrong or PB does not support
the opening of CON or PRN ? would be strange by the way...

Ill keep on trying

Perhaps my suggestion was a poor one. I thought CON: (or something like that) was a standard device under Windows. Maybe not.

I must have been sleeping

This works fine ->

print ( chr(27)+"[2j" )

Not so silly...you need ansi.sys or nansi.sys enabled for DOS console.
I was working on a linux ANSI console...
