Black Box or Console Blinking When Using os.execute and Command Line

[Wajinn]

Would like to see an option with os.execute that completely hides the console and prevents any kind of blinking or pop-up. Sometimes, for various reasons, the command prompt console will show for a fraction of a second (blink).

I know that this is possible, as have seen it in other languages, where they have a cross-platform Process or RunCommand that has a "NoConsole" option. Would be great if V has this too.

import os

fn main() {
	println(os.execute(r'cmd /c ipconfig /all').noconsole())  // maybe something like this or whatever is best
}

try just os.execute('ipconfig /all')

[Wajinn]

try just os.execute('ipconfig /all')

Yes, have typed it that way and other ways. It still does quick fraction of the second pop-ups on Window machines. Multiple usage in a program can cause multiple quick pop-ups. Particularly when first ran or hasn't been run for some length of time. Would be great to have some kind of "no_console" option. Equivalent option is there in some other languages, as it appears a known issue for Windows OSes.

You may need to pass the -mwindows option to gcc to hide the command prompt, I haven't tried this.

Is this issue resolved now? I also encountered the problem of cmd console not being hidden when using os.execute.
