Hi, i'm trying to finish up coding this silly console based C++ code editor of mine. It can do everyday stuff like putting tabs when u hit '{' and <enter>, highlight the keywords, but it cannot yet save the text the user has typed. i tried funcs like PeekConsoleOutput() to read the entire console and write the data to a file, but it didn't work. Could anyone who've done this kinda thing before please give me some help?
thx.

(and, sorry for my amateur English)
Why don't you save the data which is stored in memory, which you used to create the display in the first place?
i m also facing the same problem, but according to me we have to trace the pointer
where the cursor exactly is and then shift the values acc to that
