I want to write and build and execute a Pascal Program in Notepad ++. If i execute the program in cmd the output is normal, but in the console in nppexec the output is empty
My Code:
Program Edgar;
Uses Crt;
Var cnt, tip, pot : INTEGER;
Begin
TextColor(Red);
WriteLn('Hallo');
tip := -1;
cnt := 0;
Randomize;
pot := Random(2501)*10;
WriteLn(pot);
WHILE (tip <> pot) do
Begin
WriteLn('Tip: ');
ReadLn(tip);
if (tip < pot) then begin
WriteLn('Too low');
cnt := cnt + 1
end;
if (tip > pot) then begin
WriteLn('Too High');
cnt := cnt + 1
end;
end;
cnt:= cnt + 1;
WriteLn('IA IA');
WriteLn('Tries: ',cnt );
End.
Build Commands:
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
fpc $(NAME_PART).pas
$(NAME_PART).exe
Output(Nppexec):

If you enable unit CRT, the application will write to the console directly (using *console winapi functions) instead of using stdout.
Probably the console screen of npp is not a real console screen, but a capture of stdout (-piped) only.
Except not using crt (and thus not using cursor movement and coloring) there is not much that can be done, this is probably a NPP limitation.
