[Gambas-user] 2 console questions.

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Stop! Forget about getch(), that's a C function, of course...

Try something like this:

PUBLIC SUB Application_Read()
DIM t$ AS String
   PRINT "hello there"
   READ #LAST, t$, -256

     't$ = READ  -256

     IF t$ <> "" THEN
       PRINT t$ & " : ";
     END IF

     txt = txt & t$

     SELECT CASE txt
     CASE "b"
       PRINT Chr$(27) & "[1m";
     CASE ELSE
       PRINT "gedrückt:" & txt;
     END SELECT

     txt = ""

END
