Password program help

[con.focus]

K im make a pass word file that covers the password over with stars
the program has a big problem

which is if an incorect password is enter first it will and then the corect password is entered it does n't reconize it

this does not happen when the correct pwd is enter the first time

code:

var key : string (1) var password : string := "" var counter : int counter := 0 loop     loop         getch (key)         exit when ord (key) = 10         put "*" ..         password += key     end loop     put ""     counter += +1     if counter = 3 then         quit     elsif password = "sze" then         exit     end if end loop put "" put "Welcome to Scotia Bank"

dont do it that way
just use setscreen("noecho")
and then everytime a key is pressed, output a "*"

wut exactly do u mean

[Andy]

make a new program, and at the very top put setscreen("noecho")
and then write a program that gets someones name, run it and u'llsee what i mean

[con.focus]

i did that but the only thing it write at is enter wont lets u inout other chars


btw is there a command that will resart ur program

[Andy]

err u can put it in a loop.. or u can make it an exe and use Sys.Execute

and btw... that program i told you to write dos input letters, you just cant see it being inputted which is the whole point of hiding it.. ah wells, here is a password program i wrote a while back

code:

fcn getpass : string     var pass := ""     var charc : string (1)     loop         getch (charc)         exit when ord (charc) = 10         if ord (charc) = 8 and length (pass) not= 0 then             locate (whatrow, whatcol - 1)             put " " ..             locate (whatrow, whatcol - 1)             pass := pass (1 .. length (pass) - 1)         elsif ord (charc) not= 8 then             pass := pass + charc             put "*" ..         end if     end loop     put ""     result pass end getpass put getpass

yo thx ne way but i just realized that this line

code:

password+= key

is acting like this one

code:

counter += +1

all i needed to do was reset the variable at the end of the loop
