Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Ring Bell (BEEP)

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Note that "\a" stands for 'attention' and is the beep character (ctrl-G)
which is the same as your "\07" character.

And yes it works. But isn't really a beep but a short ping.

/Per W

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    printf("\a");  /* emit first beep */
    printf("\07"); /* emit second beep */
    return 0;
}
