Command prompt, closes so fast unable to read the output.

Hi,

I use masm with HiEditor and when assembling a file, it opens a dos window but it closes so fast i can't read what the output was.

Got any hint how to fix it!?

Thx.

Hi Kema01,

Unfortunately, this is how the microsoft assembler console works. It closes when it is finished.

What you can do is call the assembler from a batch file in which you'll have a PAUSE statement at the end. From HiEditor, call the batch file instead of the assembler executable (ml.exe)

Off course, if you have the skills, you can create a GUI executable which will get the assembler console output. You will call this GUI executable from HiEditor.

Whichever decision you take, feel free to ask for any help you might need.

Regards,

Antonis

C:\Documents and Settings\Miodrag Milic>cmd /?
Starts a new instance of the Windows XP command interpreter

CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]
[[/S] [/C | /K] string]

/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
/K Carries out the command specified by string but remains
/S Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)
/Q Turns echo off
/D Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)
/A Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
/U Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be
Unicode
/T:fg Sets the foreground/background colors (see COLOR /? for more info)
/E:ON Enable command extensions (see below)
/E:OFF Disable command extensions (see below)
/F:ON Enable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/F:OFF Disable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
