1. Euphoria on Linux
Hello,
A long time ago. Now I am on Linux.
In a Bash script I would replace the simple 'read'
command with a editable line, in Euphoria.
I make the routine and its work fine.
I have however two problems :
1- How can I prevent Euphoria from clearing the screen
at start or/and at end of run. (I call the routine into
a shell script)?
2- How can I pass the edited string to the shell for
further use ?
Thank you for any suggestion.
(o- Jean-Claude

When you print something to the screen, Euphoria
starts Curses, which clears the screen. When you are
running in an xterm, the screen will be also be cleared
at the end, after a prompt "Press Enter" is issued.
In a plain text console there is no clearing at the end and
no prompt. You can stop the prompt in xterm by calling
free_console() in dll.e just before your program terminates,
after it has finished writing to the screen. In that case, the screen
will be cleared immediately when your program terminates.
If I can find a good way to avoid the clearing at the start and end
I will implement it. It's complicated to avoid this when using Curses.
