Thread: Coloring with for statements

GC you got those errors because you used a namespace and then didn't use

std::cout

you used

cout.


Heres the program i wrote to demonstrate how to use the header. i tried to post it yesterday to help answer inq's question bout namespace but it wouldn't let me:

Code:

/*	Steven Billington
*	October 30, 2002
*	ColorTest.cpp
*
*   petter-color.h allows you to use colors with cout in win32
*   Copyright (c) 2002
*
*   petter-color.h made by Petter ("Sang-drax") Strandmark
*/

/*	Preprocessor Directives*/
#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <petter-color.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/*	Namespaces needed for correct functioning*/
using namespace std;
using namespace Petter;


int main()
{
	/*	Examples of colored text*/
	std::cout<<RED<<"This text is red.\n";
	std::cout<<BLUE<<"This text is blue.\n";
	std::cout<<WHITE<<"This text is white.\n";
	std::cout<<GREEN<<"This text is green.\n";
	std::cout<<NORMAL<<"\n";

	system("pause");

	/*	Good practice to return value for main*/
	return 0;

}

I did something similar which might be easier for longer programs, I just dropped the "using namespace Petter" part and wrote:

Code:

cout<<Petter::BLUE<<"This text is blue"<<endl;
cout<<Petter::RED<<"This text is red"<<endl;

BTW, thanks Sang-drax for a great and useful header!

ok, Ill try that later, and fill you in. BTW im using MSVS 6.0

The compiler shouldn't matter with this header.
