Keyboard Input

i'm reading in characters from the keyboard and i'm wanting to check if the character entered is a backspace and if it is i want to output the ASCII value 08.

i have this snippet of my code:

c = fgetc(stdin);

if (c== '\127')
fputc('\08',stdout);

I'm not sure if this is right as it doesn't seem to be working

Unfortunately, with buffered input you can't read a backspace keypress with fgetc. You'll need to use a raw input function such as getch:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main ( void )
{
  int c;

  c = getch();

  if ( c == '\b' )
    printf ( "Backspace pressed\n" );

  return 0;
}
