1. Now this is very strange

When I run my coronavirus_tracker from within the WEE editor and then
select the projected data routine everything works as expected:
Coronavirus: GA Projected Data based on a Daily Growth Rate 7 Day Moving Average of: 1.028 Day Date Confirmed Deaths Daily 1 2020-4-30: 26,316 1,132 +31 2 2020-5-1: 27,053 1,164 +32 3 2020-5-2: 27,811 1,196 +32
However; when I run the same program from the terminal
ken@ken-desktop:~/euprogs/Covid_19$ eui coronavirus_tracker.exThe first part of my program displays as expected, but when I run
the projected data routine this is what is displayed:
Coronavirus: GA Projected Data based on a Daily Growth Rate 7 Day Moving Average of: 1.028 Day Date Confirmed 5,777s +158y 60 2020-6-28: 134,315
The same corrupted report is displayed when I compile,bind,shround
and then test run the program. The same thing happens when I include
a SHEBANG line on the programs top line, make the file executable
and then execute the file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Try putting puts(1,"") before you output anything else. I know on Windows there's a weird issue where the text wrapping is limited to 80 characters for the first puts() call. It's really weird, so I'm not sure if it's related to this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am on Linux. I tried your suggestion to no avail.
The problem appears to be somehow related to my use of get_position() and position(line,column) to position the display of sequential data in neat justified columns under heading labels. I changed to using tabs which is actually simpler and now the display is as expected under all circumstances.
I still think there is a peculiar bug somewhere though - remember the display routine using get_position() and position() performed flawlessly when the interpreted code was executed from within the editor, but failed except after compiling, shrouding, binding.
I guess all is well than ends well.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Regards,
Ken
