Cosmos C# OS Programming

Question

I am building a base os, with COSMOS (I don't have a mac). So, I have successfully got the os to accept three commands, help, shutdown, restart.

However here is the bit I am stuck on:

Console.Writeline("Command>");
Console.Readline();

This gets this:

Command>
[blank space for Readline command]

Here is what I want:

So This is what I want (user interface):

Command> [user input here]

This question is not really related to cosmos... – leppie Jul 15 '14 at 06:17 — leppie, Jul 15 '14 at 06:17
how is this NOT related to COSMOS? – td512 Jul 15 '14 at 06:19 — td512, Jul 15 '14 at 06:19
This works exactly the same in any c# console application. – leppie Jul 15 '14 at 06:20 — leppie, Jul 15 '14 at 06:20

WriteLine will write a line, hence you should use Console.Write(...) in order to not append a \n character.

That will return this: `Command> [blank space for Readline command]` – td512 Jul 15 '14 at 06:17
Isn't that what you are looking for? – Levente Kurusa Jul 15 '14 at 06:18
What comments and what Enter? – Levente Kurusa Jul 15 '14 at 06:20
it should be `Command>` with `[blank space for Readline command]` this underneath, and i have already tried what you suggested, i've used COSMOS before – td512 Jul 15 '14 at 06:20
You can add a space to make `Console.Write("Command> ")`. If that is not what you ask, then I fail to understand your English. Please rephrase. – Levente Kurusa Jul 15 '14 at 06:22
OK... If `Console.Writeline("");` and `Console.Readline();` produces: `Command>` and a space for the input underneath, how do i move the blank space back up to the `Command>` line?. – td512 Jul 15 '14 at 06:28
Provide an example with an input of `ls` – Levente Kurusa Jul 15 '14 at 06:47
But only show what we would see on the screen. Let the cursor be (`|`) the pipe character... – Levente Kurusa Jul 15 '14 at 06:53
