Question

Can anybody tell me how I can paste text input into the Dev-C++ console (command line shell) while running a program in Dev-C++?
Also is there any other simple IDE which allows users to work with a single source file w/o creating a project?

Answer 1

af far as i can remember dev-cpp start a windows commadline window when a consol application is started. so if you have somethig like

cout << "enter a char: ";
cin >> c;

in your code, the consol window will be wating for input.

an to your second question: Yes and No

Yes: you can use g++.exe (witch comes with dev-cpp) and notepade.exe (witch comses with windows)
and compile your source using commad g++.exe source.cpp and run you application by typing a.exe in a console window witch you have to open yourself and navigate to the directory where source.cpp is located.

No: (g++.exe + notepade.exe) == IDE

Note that you have to extend the PATH envirenment variable to be able to use g++.exe without fullpath to it
