well I'm using DevC++ Compiler but I'm not working on a windows program I'm working on something that looks like dos
I think u guys call it console anyway I was wonderin gis there anyway you could do like the dos command echo off or something
to not show what the user has input into cin heres an example
char name[40];
cout << "Enter Your Name Here ";
cin >> name;
but I dont want to see what the user has put for there name is it possible to do this
any help would be apreciated
cheers stealth
Simple - don't cout << the variable that the user enters. You can call the variable at any stage of the program.
Example:
Code:#include <iostream.h> int main() { char name[40]; cout << "Enter your name: "; cin >> username; //Program code etc.... cout << "Thanks "<< username << "!" << endl; return 0; }
yeah thanks man
the only thing is I dont cout the input
I got no idea on how to do this I might have to try and work it out though
oh yeah I still need to know how to change my name I dunno I tryed edit profile so mayb eu can mail me
cheers

I think once you've registered a name, you can't edit the name - you have to create a new account. Try sending a PM to the webmaster or kermi3.
If you don't want to have the input echo'ed on the screen you'll have to use something like getch() and get one character at a time.
On Dev C++ there are two getch()'s, you want to use the one in conio_mingw.h.
