Ok I made a small code, just to give some simple output, but when it runs it closes the window when it finishes. I know this must just be a problem with my DOS window automatically closing when finished. Anyone know how to make it stay open once it's finished?
Just Read This FAQ
Woop?
if it is in dos and u have conio.h (just find out) at the end of ur program before the final "}" or the "return" statement of main use getch(); that should solve ur problem.
i couldnt imagine an "exec" and a newbie together.

Trace and Debug ! Determine where you have gone wrong!
No there is no problem with the code, it's a windows problem and I know that there is a permanent solution out there somewhere how to disable automatically closing. Any ideas?
didn't know quite what to call it, exec stands for execute :POriginally Posted by gooddevil

can u give some more detail, which compiler, what code etc etc.....

Possibly, if you run it from a shortcut. Otherwise, I doubt it unless you want to do some mucking around in the registry, in which case there's still no guarantee. Try folder options and stuff like that. But unless you're running the program from a DOS command prompt (i.e. go Run and type "command"), you're probably going to have a hard time doing it without building it into your code.I know that there is a permanent solution out there somewhere how to disable automatically closing.

it has nothing to do with the dosbox....just read what prog_bman said! Just add the code buddy!
I know I can just add the code it is what I have been doing. But I know it's a windows thing and I'm also pretty sure theres a permanent solution. I'm using Bloodshed Dev C++ compiler, and the code does not apply to the question seeing as it closes after reaching the end of any code.
Oh, you mean stay open and allow you to type DOS commands in? I doubt it unless (again) you run it from a DOS prompt to begin with, or spawn a new DOS console using CreateProcess() or something at the end of your code, which still won't do exactly what you want.

Straight from the Dev-C++ website: http://www.bloodshed.net/faq.html#22. When executing my dos program, it closes automatically. How I can change this ?
You can use an input function at the end of you source, like the following example :
Code:#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system(“PAUSE”); return 0; }
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein

Does that allow the user to input DOS commands? If not, how is it unique from any other solution posted above?

Add the following line into your code before "return 0;"
cin.ignore();
And I hereby quote myself from 1 post above:Add the following line into your code before "return 0;"
