Thread: No Result when run *.exe

Hello. I have this problem. When I compile a project in the turbo C compiler I can get the result that I want. But after I compile it and make it into an exe, then run that exe, I cannot get the result. Why is it when I run in the project file the result is there but not after it is an exe?

Please asists. Thank you.

Hai.....sorry i am a little confuse with the replies given.........The source code is as below.........

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>


int main()
{
  int i;
  unsigned char far* scrn = (unsigned char far*) 0xb0008000;
  FILE *fp = fopen("c:\\text.txt","w");

  for(i=0;i<6900;i+=2)
     fputc(*(scrn+i),fp);

  fclose(fp);

 return 0;
}

When I press Alt+F9, I get the text.txt with the information on the dos screen. Now I have tested. If I open the dos prompt and straight away type the exe Eg: C:\Scrncap.exe, I won't get the output in the c:\text.txt. The file exist but contains nothing inside. But if I open the turbo C compiler, then close it back again. And then type the exe Eg: C:\scrncap.exe, I get the output of the dos screen in the c:\text.txt. This is the part I really don't understand. Why in a newly open dos prompt I cannot capture the text in the c:\text.txt?

Hai.......Thanks for all the support. I have found out the problem. It is not compatible with Win2K dos prompt. When I use another computer with Win98. The program runs well.

Thanks.
