console-application

This is not a duplicate! - Well, after reading the comments, maybe it is. I was looking for a way to italicize text in the console output of a console application, in c#, Visual Studio 2015, Targeting .NET Framework 4.5.2, OS = Windows 7. The Microsoft Documentation is pretty clear It's here - and it's so misleading it's wrong. This is an OS problem. I found the following question with a solution that does what I want by Vladimir Reshetnikov, adding text decorations to console output answered Mar 28 at 19:52 in one of the answers, and code like it in git, and elsewhere... my problem is -

I'm writing a commandline program that prompts for a passwd and I don't want it to do local echo of the password characters. After some searches, I have stumbled upon System.console().readPassword() , which seems great, except when dealing with pipes in Unix. So, my example program (below) works fine when I invoke it as: % java PasswdPrompt but fails with Console == null when I invoke it as % java PasswdPrompt | less or % java PasswdPrompt < inputfile IMHO, this seems like a JVM issue, but I can't be the only one who has run into this problem so I have to imagine there are some easy solutions.

Is there any way to detect both Readline and ReadKey, so that in most cases it behaves as a readline, except for some special key inputs that should be detected? I need some "parallel" implementation to introduce simultaneity. The code below is synchronous and does not meet my need while ((line = Console.ReadLine()) != "x") { if (line == "BLABLA") { //Stuff } else { //Stuff } ConsoleKeyInfo ki = Console.ReadKey(true); if ((ki.Key == ConsoleKey.V) && (ki.Modifiers == ConsoleModifiers.Control)) { //Stuff } } Here's a function I just made to do this. Right now it only handles backspace, enter,

I have a console application built in visual studio 2010. When I actually build the project I am getting .exe file under \bin\Debug\MyProj.exe. When I Paste and run this .exe from other location it is expecting other files too. Any thoughts how can I make this as Stand alone exe file. There should be other DLL's in the Debug library. You need those to run your exe. If there are no DLL's there, make sure you set the 'Copy local' property of the required references to True, and build again. If you want to make a standalone program, you should create a new Setup project in your solution. Include

I want to create an interactive shell type application. For example: > ./app.py Enter a command to do something. eg `create name price`. For to get help, enter "help" (without quotes) > create item1 10 Created "item1", cost $10 > del item1 Deleted item1 > exit ... I could of course use a infinte loop getting user input, splitting the line to get the individual parts of the command, but is there a better way? Even in PHP (Symfony 2 Console) they allow you to create console commands to help setup web applications for example. Is there something like that in Python (I am using Python 3) Just

I've found many articles on how to set the mouse position in a C# windows forms project - I want to do this in a console application. How can I set the absolute mouse position from a C# windows console application? Thanks! Hint: it's not Console.setCursorPosition, that only sets the position of the text cursor in the console. Inside your console application, add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll and use the other techniques you've read about. The choice of console vs windows exe only impacts the PE header (and maybe the default code template, but you can hack that trivially); you can

I have a weird question. I have written a winform server application and a winform client application. The role of the client is to send commands for running a certain script to the server. The server receives those commands, parses them, and runs them. These two work great. I have written a cmd application which uses some of the functions from my client. This application is supposed to function as a cmd client. The question is this: When I run the winform client, the server runs the commands with no problems at all. When I run the cmd client, when the server attempts to execute the received

So I've written a small program which takes in commands by the users, and then displays the output (after connecting to a server). It's an interactive console of sorts. However, after using the mongodb and redis command-line clients (which work interactively on the console/terminal), it seems that there must be a library somewhere which provides functionalities such as recording user inputs, accepting up/down keypresses to browse through command history, as well as tab completion framework (not sure how that one would work, but yeah). What's an ideal library to use for such a thing? The
