Here is the code: var name : string (100) var timetoexit : char loop locate (8, 12) get name : * cls get timetoexit exit when timetoexit = 'n' end loop for some reason turing only get the name 1ce, it skips the input for name after the first time? Anyone know what is wrong and how i can fix it? thanks |

I believe that it's the ": *" after get name that is causing the problem. |

So do I have to input name as different strings, or is there an alternative way? |

You declared the variable as 100 characters in the string, I think you should take out the 100 in the declaration, or you should change the * to 100. |

To fix this turn timetoexit into a string of length 1 and use getch(timetoexit)

Doesn't seem to be workjing  I've tried both method but the program still ignoring the the fact that I put get name |

Doesn't work perfectly as it skips the input for name right after but is fine for the time after, so wasted a loop everytime i type name-.- |

You might not have put them in the right spot. Those two lines were just what you should replace the others with, they shouldn't appear like that in the code. |
