    More Console Window Questions

    Hi,

    Thanks to everyone who helped me with my other question I now have it working fine.

    Just two other questions though.

    1. What's the quickest, easiest way to copy the contents of one console buffer to another?

    2. Can you set the font in the console window?

    Thanks again for you help

    Richard

    :-)

    I may be misunderstanding your question, but
    strncpy( dst, src, BUFSIZ );
    for strings and
    memcpy( dst, src, BUFSIZ );
    for anything not ending with '\0'

    No

    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Trying to be a bit more clear

    Hi Prelude,

    I think you misunderstand, what I have is 2 console screen buffers and what I want to do is put things on the hidden buffer screen and then copy the whole lot in one go to the visible buffer screen. So what I wanted to know is is there a way to do this and if so whats the quickest and easiest?

    hope that makes it a bit clearer

    Richard
