Variable Detail

STD_CONSOLE

var console_file: STD_CONSOLE

Standard console file of the current process. When characters are written to STD_CONSOLE they are displayed on the console/terminal (if it exists and is able to display them). Unlike the byte file STD_OUT STD_CONSOLE accepts also Unicode characters. Unicode characters are written with the encoding of the operating system. If the standard output file of the operating system has been redirected UTF-8 encoded characters are written to the redirected file.


Function Detail

open

const func console_file: open (CONSOLE)

Creates a console_file at the upper left corner of the console/window. The console_file extends over the whole text console/window.

Returns:
the file opened.

flush

const proc: flush (in console_file: aFile)

Forces that all buffered data of aFile is sent to its destination. This causes data to be sent to the text console/window of the OS.

height

const func integer: height (in console_file: aConsoleFile)

Get the height of 'aConsoleFile'.

Returns:
the height of 'aConsoleFile'.

width

const func integer: width (in console_file: aConsoleFile)

Get the width of 'aConsoleFile'.

Returns:
the width of 'aConsoleFile'.

setPos

const proc: setPos (in console_file: aConsoleFile, in integer: line, in integer: column)

Set the current position of 'aConsoleFile' to 'line' and 'column'.

column

const func integer: column (in console_file: aConsoleFile)

Get the cursor column of 'aConsoleFile'.

Returns:
the cursor column of 'aConsoleFile'.

line

const func integer: line (in console_file: aConsoleFile)

Get the cursor line of 'aConsoleFile'.

Returns:
the cursor line of 'aConsoleFile'.

clear

const proc: clear (in console_file: aConsoleFile, in integer: upper, in integer: left, in integer: lower, in integer: right)

Clear an area of aConsoleFile with space characters. The area is specified in (line, column) coordinates and is between the (upper, left) and (lower, right).

clear

const proc: clear (in console_file: aConsoleFile)

Clear 'aConsoleFile' with space characters.

write

const proc: write (in console_file: aConsoleFile, in string: stri)

Write a string to the current position of 'aConsoleFile'. Unicode characters are written with the encoding of the operating system. The cursor position is changed, if one of the characters '\n', '\r' and '\b' is written. If the standard output file of the operating system has been redirected UTF-8 encoded characters are written to the redirected file.
