masm32 console examples are great except a detail

[daydreamer]

looked thru them now and tested them as they are better suited for algo developing without being messed up with windows api code and better than 16bit
could you add "press any key" so they can be executed also without typing .exes name in so you have time to read "Hello World" when executing by normal windowsmeans?

Wouldnt this be a great challenge and opportunity for you to add these and give back to the community ?

daydreamer,

Why not to run those examples in console mode? Create a shorcut on your desktop opening a console window and you are ready to run the examples.

I did, but living in Bills doubleclick World rather than living in old World of MSdos commands, to get to right directory and type long filenames to test things doesnt appeal to new people
is my point
for example when I started to write java applications, they wasnt possible to doubleclick so filenames was less descriptive Z.exe x.exe  y.exe

Daydreamer,
Where are you getting all those masm32 console examples from??? I've been searching for a long time, and every now and then I come accross one. I would be delighted to peruse throuh them if you would provide a url.
Thank you,

LogicRules,

Have you bothered to have a look at the example code in MASM32. There is a reasonable amount of console mode code includng some console mode apps and tools. Then if you bother to look in the tutorial directory there are a set of very basic console mode tutorials. The console mode system in masm32 is designed to be very simple and fast to use and it is ideal for algorithm development as you don't have to waste time designing an interface to run the code.

Traditionally, you wouldn't want a console app to 'hang' waiting for a keypress, because most of the time you would pipe out the output, pipe some data in, etc.

Otherwise, i have a shortcut button in total commander that pops up the cmd.exe window, with the patch set to the current dir.

As far as typing log filenames, you can use TAB for autocomplete.
