System("PAUSE") like command for Debugging
 

Hi all,

Can anyone please suggest how while debugging the code in OpenFOAM, we can halt the simulation. I want to print some output, then have the simulation halt and then continue by pressing any key. I am working on my first code in OpenFOAM and also in C++.

Thanks.:)

Thank you for your reply. Actually I was asking for someway to pause the output window, after a desired variable in the code is printed.
As the window refreshes I can't see the output. But definitely, I can use a log file which I thought now.

Use the log file, or interactively with Ctrl+Z (general bash command to send a process to sleep). You can wake it again with the command "fg".
