I am trying to create a screen where the user would be able to write down their name with StringBuilder.
The problems I have is with the functionality of backspace. I can remove all letters except the first letter that was pressed. Also, it seems like I can press whatever character and it would be submitted.
ConsoleKeyInfo cki = new ConsoleKeyInfo();
bool enterPressed = false;
StringBuilder name = new StringBuilder();
int temp = 61;
do
{
Console.SetCursorPosition(temp, 14);
cki = Console.ReadKey(true);
if (cki.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter && name.Length > 0 && name.Length < 12)
{
enterPressed = true;
Console.SetCursorPosition(61, 18);
Console.Write(name);
}
else if ("qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm".Contains(cki.KeyChar) && name.Length < 12)
{
name.Append(cki.KeyChar);
Console.Write(cki.KeyChar);
temp += 1;
}
else if(cki.Key == ConsoleKey.Backspace && name.Length > 0)
{
name.Remove(name.Length-1, 1);
Console.Write("\b \b");
}
} while (name.Length > 0 && !enterPressed);
You forgot to do temp--;
This code snippet should solve your problem
name.Remove(name.Length - 1, 1);
temp--;
Console.Write("\b \b");
