Setting console title remove line ends

Post by Croutonix »

Code: Select all

os.execute("title Hello World")
print("Line 1")
print("Line 2")
os.execute("pause")
Prints
Image

But if no title is set:

Code: Select all

print("Line 1")
print("Line 2")
os.execute("pause")
It prints
Image

Setting the console title removes line ends or removes something at least.
Any idea why? Any other way to set console title?
This might be a Lua isssue not a love one
Tried on lua console and it works the right way. This is a love issue.

Console is enabled in .love file
Download .love file

Sorry for all these not game related issues but you're my only hope!

Yeah, it's a reported issue in the issue tracker, no idea why it was marked as invalid, it's a completely valid one

Maybe you should go there and comment about it
for i, person in ipairs(everybody) do
[tab]if not person.obey then person:setObey(true) end
end

Also note that if I set title and open my program with a batch file

Code: Select all

@echo off
title Hello World!
love.exe src <program.exe>
Everything displays correctly.

I did some tests: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/issues/ ... t-30001224

tl;dr: probably Microsoft's fault. There's not much I can actually do to solve it in LOVE's code I think, although you'll be able to use lovec.exe when 0.10.2 comes out if you want to output to a console, and lovec.exe doesn't have that issue as far as I can tell.
