The " operator

[wboeke]

I cannot get the " word working. What is wrong with the next statements?

: test " hello" print ;
test

The result:
hello��@ B#L)*&Q-S15W 9Y ....

Apparently some loop does not terminate, but I cannot find a solution.

: test " hello" ; works, you should not have a "print" there.

Sorry to reopen...
Of course I tried this already. If I enter 'test', then nothing happens however.
When I accidently find a solution, I'll report it to you.

It's because the output buffer is not being flushed until you call cr (or it gets full), try:

: test " hello" ;
test cr

If you want you could modify third.c to call fflush(tobj->output); after fputc, but it's working as intended.
