    I have a program that generates over 300 lines of printing during the execution of the application program that was compiled with Dev C++. Is there a way to change this limit? Thanks and please advise.

      Eh!? The program will output whatever it is programmed to output. It is your program, it is entirely up to you how you control output.

      Possibly all you need do is increase the console buffer length so that you can scroll back? Click the icon on the applications title bar and select "Properties", then "Layout".

      Alternatively pipe teh output to the "more" command:

      myprog | more

      and it will page the output, pausing after each 'screen-full'.

      Another alternative is to redirect output to a file:

      myprog > output.txt

      .... btw, how does the title of your thread describe its content? It doesn't.

        The point is this. A generic title like "Dev-C++" says absolutely nothing about
        your specific problem. Why is that important? Well, if everyone gave such
        generic titles, then the strangers that are being asked for free help, like
        Clifford, would have to pop open every post to determine what is needed.

        The "How to ask a question the smart way" page talks about how to put together a
        good subject line - its referenced in the "Please Read" thread.
