Console display help

[toomanystars]

Hi guys,

Wondering if there's a way to control the page breaks in console. For example, if I create a list such as:

for(int i=0;i<1000;i++){
 cout<<i<<endl;
}

is there a way to fill the console display up the bottom of the page, then press a button, and display to the bottom etc.

Right now, whenever I create a long list, console just outputs everything, and I have scroll up, which is really annoying.

Thanks,

Mike

for(int i=0;i<1000;i++)
{
   if(i%50 == 0)
   {
      //getchar() or cin or Sleep(ms)
   }
   cout<<i<<endl;
}

I considered that. Are there no other ways?

Can't think of any.
How does the console know when the screen is filled with new output when it is already full ? I imagine u could do something custom like (for windows) get the client rectangle and depending on its height - output the next x lines as defined by ur prog.

I don't know about creating pages(If there is inbuilt system).But you can use like this for one page display.

int x=1,y=1;
for(int i=0;i<1000;i++)
{
   if(i%50 == 0)
   {
      x+=2;
      y=0;
   }
   gotoxy(x,y++);
   cout<<i<<endl;
}

For medium projects divide the call in parts(arguments in function),then pass page no and print on screen.(if you want an example then I can program one for you.)

For big projects If you want to create pages then you have to use additional file and menus for format.
