Code: Select all

OpenConsole("Test")
ConsoleLocate(100,100)

  A$ ="xxxxxxxx"

  PrintN(A$)
Debug A$

Not a bug. (Coding Questions)
F1 - List of Platform-dependent Functions
ConsoleCursor() "On Linux or MacOS, this is ignored as the console is only line based"

Ok, but why is this not working on Linux? Yet it still works on Win10?

Code: Select all

OpenConsole("Test")
;ConsoleLocate(100,100)

  A$ ="xxxxxxxx"

  PrintN(A$)
Debug A$

No I did not, in Linux or Win10. Is this OS depenent?

Yes that solved the issue. But why is it not the same in Win????? And not Documented?

Thanks for the help!!

MacOS must also be set to Console if you want to compile a console app.

For "Console" the PureBasic help file says...
"If your program is intended to be a pure console application (i.e. not a GUI application which sometimes opens a console) then you must remember to set the executable format to 'Console' when you are compiling your programs."
