It is not unique. It is relevant since Serrux appears to be looking for a solution that is compiler-specific. The point of the post was that there wasn't a solution other than what had already been posted and to cite the specifics straight from the website that supported the compiler. I'm sorry you missed it.Originally Posted by Hunter2

Fair enough, although that last bit could be taken very much in the wrong wayThe point of the post was that there wasn't a solution other than what had already been posted and to cite the specifics straight from the website that supported the compiler. I'm sorry you missed it.

I'm currently using GetCh() to solve my problem, I'm also pretty sure there are many different ways you could solve it with code. However I'm looking for a solution for it closing automatically if my code only includes
cout<<"Hello"
Or whatever, because after it finishes putting that up it will close (which is almost instantly). I'm also unaware if this is a compiler problem, or an issue with Windows just automatically doing it. I'm pretty sure it's windows because if anyone has every typed ipconfig or a similar command into dos prompt it might close automatically (therefore not allowing you to see what information is posted. My friend told me it was a windows issue but he forgot how he permanently solved it. If everyone is stumped I'll just go ahead and add that code in to all my programs, but for convenience it would be nice to permanently fix it. Thanks ahead of time.
**EDIT or perhaps someone could refer me to a compiler that won't close? ***

If you don't want to change your code, you can change how you run the program. Just open a command prompt (Start->Run... cmd) and navigate to the directory with your executable. Then just run your executable from that command prompt every time you want to run it. After typing the exe name in the first time you only have to hit the up arrow and enter to run it again.
I'm not familiar with the Dev-C++ IDE, but if you'd prefer to run it through a debugger (a good idea), you should be able to add a breakpoint to the last line of your code.
>>perhaps someone could refer me to a compiler that won't close?
I do know that Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 doesn't close, as long as you run the program by hitting the "execute" button. I can't tell you about .NET, since I don't have it, but I think it should be the same.

Look here. You'll have to register to see the solution, but that's a pretty fast process. If you'll allow me to paraphrase, they were unable to find a solution for it under Windows XP/2000 from the OS side.
I agree with Hunter2. MSVC++ works. I can't remember if .NET does it or not.

Do I have to purchase it? Or can I find a free version?
Some introductory C++ books come with a free learning edition; I'm not sure if you can download that from their website or anything. Other than that, I think you'll have to buy it somewhere (you might want to try a university, they often give student discounts).
