perhaps try 'reset' or 'stty sane' in the terminal before running your program?
are you using the crt or video units at all? it sounds like your terminal has gotten fudged somehow -- Alexander Grotewohl https://dcclost.com ________________________________ From: fpc-pascal <fpc-pascal-boun...@lists.freepascal.org> on behalf of Bo Berglund via fpc-pascal <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Sent: Thursday, July 9, 2020 12:01:42 PM To: fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Cc: Bo Berglund <bo.bergl...@gmail.com> Subject: [fpc-pascal] Writeln() behaves differently on Windows and Linux, why? I am writing a cross-platform program (console program, no GUI). I am using Lazarus 2.0.8 and FPC 3.0.4 on both Linux and Windows. During sebugging I have put numerous writeln commands in the code to track what is happening. I started on Windows and all worked just fine according to expectations. Every new output generated a new line on the console with the printed text left aligned. But then I moved the code over to Linux (Raspbian Buster) and strangely this happens: Test line 1 Test line 2 Test line 3 and so on. It looks exactly the same if I use a terminal window on the Linux system itself as it does if I connect to the Linux machine using PuTTY from Windows... It seems like a writeln() in the code does actually not do a carriage return on the console, just a linefeed so the console continues at the column where the previous line ended. The messages I print out are simple text strings either showing incoming data packets or just my comment. Typical code: s := 'Status changed: ' + newstat + ' msg: ' + AStatusText; LogStd(s); Writeln(s); In the log file this obviously does not happen... What can cause this strange behaviour? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
