VSCode Reading Data (Compile program output) in terminal


David Lenton
 

We have an issue with "Terminal" in VS code.  We are trying to write a program in C++ that asks user to enter a number and it then returns a result. (As the sighted helper, I can see the Program's output text "Input a Number" in the terminal box and can enter the number to continue the program. However NVDA will not read out the text from the program until it has gone through all the undecipherable compiler messages which is about 5 min long.  Is anyone aware of to easily get straight to the result of the ran program. 
The program text "Input a number" appears in VS code "Output" box (next to "Terminal") . Unfortunately this box read only, so it wont let me  type in a number here.

I hope this makes sense to VS Code users.
Thanks David

It must be the week of VS Code on this list! I completely understand,
especially when I'm running the check50 commands I've talked about
here. Actually, it's even worse when running submit50, because it then
asks a yeas or no question, but silencing NVDA from reading all that
junk also silences the prompt.
