Hi,

What packages need to be included to do a

Code: Select all

     console::init(stream::ansi)   %(Is this syntax correct?)

?

I'm getting an undeclared identifier for stream::ansi, but I'm not sure where stream is located.

So far, I've got

open core, console, console_native, console_api

Notice the However below.

You already have the necessary package included, the problem is that ansi needs a codepage argument:

Code: Select all

interface stream
    open core
 
domains
    mode =
        unicode;
        ansi(codePage CP);
        binary.
 

So an initialization could look like this:

Code: Select all

    console::init(stream::ansi(codePageId::codePage_windows1251))

However a default console program has already initialized the console to utf8 in the goal:

Code: Select all

goal
    console::runUtf8(main::run).

I think the best choice is utf8 (old ASCII is a subset of utf8), but if you must use another codepage you should write (with the codepage of your choice obviously):

Code: Select all

goal
    console::run8(main::run, codePageId::codePage_windows1251).

Thank you, sir.

For most purposes UTF8 is the standard correct choice. But the samples I'm playing with won't require it. For this, I'll use ansi or ascii.

I will still think it is a bad choice to not to choose utf8 (plain ANSI/ASCII characters are a subset of utf8).

I know, thanks Thomas.
