Thread: [Dev-C++] problem of running the code

Hello everyone,

I am facing the following problem.

I have a code. When I am compiling (ctrl + F9) the code I get no errors.

When I am running it (ctrl + F10) , the dos-window disappears. (I
have -system("pause") before return 0;) .

When I am debugging the code (F8), then everything is OK and I get the
results ( I store the results to a file).

Any ideas why this is happening.? Hope, I described the problem clearly.

Thanks in advace,

THeo.

Can it be that system() fails? It simply finds a shell (cmd.exe) and
executes in it the command you wrote: in WinXP "pause" is defined, but
something can ever go wrong. Try an input, std::cin << a char if you're
using C++, instead of using system, that's less portable (maybe that not
all shells support that command).

You say in debug it works: how? Simply starting debug with no breakpoints
it stops for you to press a key? If so try redirecting output to a file to
see what normal execution printed out, this can give you more hints.

Hope I helped, bye.

Replace 'system("pause");' with 'std::cin.get();', and see what happens!

Have a good one, but if your are going to have more than one, give me a 
call ;)
