#12 Use STDIN.gets without STDOUT.flush

[Anonymous]

I discovered your RDE IDE while online. I am using it and love it. There are quit a bit about it I am still trying to understand, mainly all the menu items. But my main problem as of now is having to use STDOUT.flush before getting keyboard input. Example:

print "Enter your name: "
answer = STDIN.gets.chop!
puts "Thank you #{answer} for attending today."

This will not print to screen unless I enter it in this way:

print "Enter your name: "
STDOUT.flush
answer = STDIN.gets.chop!
puts "Thank you #{answer} for attending today."

Again this is a wonderful IDE. It would be great to have an English manual so I can get all the great benefits the IDE has in store for users.

I can be contacted via email at j.a.ogletree@gmail.com
Please add me to your mailing list.

Once again thanks for a great IDE.

Hi, Mr. James

This is FAQ.
Check below."Output commands (print or puts) not work
well."
http://rubyde.sourceforge.net/hiki/en/FAQ.html

If you want to clear this problem everytime,
you can make the below file and put it in [RUBY]/lib/ruby/1.8/ and,
set the value "-r rde_stdout" in Tools > Options > Debug command > Normal Mode

-- rde_stdout.rb
STDOUT.sync = true

Regards.
