Dev++ command line, new to this

[Dash Masterful]

So this is pretty basic, I want to print to the screen 2000 different numbers each on a new line, but when I print out, it only shows the last 200-300 numbers, not all 2000, how can I change so that all 2000 print to the screen, I'm compiling with C not C++

In your program's console window, click the icon on the title bar. Select Properties->Layout, and change "Screen Buffer Size"->"Height" to 9999

You can also do that programatically using the Win32 console API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073.aspx Specifically the SetConsoleScreenBufferSize() function http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686044(VS.85).aspx

Another option is to either redirect the text to a file or write to a file programatically and then simply use a text editor. To redirect standard output, run the program as follows:

myprog > output.txt

Yet another option is to pipe the output to the 'more' utility thus:

myprog | more

this causes the output to pause when the screen is filled until you press a key for the next 'page' of output.

thanks man, big help you are!

[Dash Masterful]

which icon are you talking about on the console window, "click the icon on the title bar", thanks

[cpns]

Usually a black square with a C: command prompt in it. How many icons do you have!?

Alternatively you can simply right-click anywhere on the title bar. This is not anything to do with Dev-C++ but normal behaviour of Windows.

... further, on the title bar to the left, where it is for every Windows application. ;-)
