Hi, I badly need help on a pascal program. I am to create a program that will accept a password. I've constructed part of the program but what I can't do is the part where I should hide the input using asterisk.

You know how it is when we type passwords on forms, the characters we're typing is replaced with asterisk so others won't see it?, that's what I'm supposed to create...this is pascal programming....

Thank you in advance to whoever could help me...

You might be able to use this, I had to use this a while ago.....you input a number and it writes that amount of asterisks, I know it's not whatyour looking for but sometimes that little bit of a clue can help one all they need, right ?

PROGRAM asterisks (INPUT,OUTPUT);

USES WINCRT

VAR
number, count :integer;

BEGIN
count :=0;

WRITE('enter number 1 - 60');
READ(number);

clrscr;

while count < number do

begin

write ('*');
count := count +1;
end;
end.

I know that is nothing like what your looking for, but maybe a small part of it helps.

P.S - If you find out how, I wouldn't mind seeing how you did it if you have time
