checking for any key

[Cprogrammer]

hi there, haven't been here in a long time.

I have been using Borlands 5.5 getch() in conio.h which returnes a keycode to check what key was pressed.
How do I check if any key was pressed?Is that in the same function ?

For Example i want to make a loop to process some output until the user pressed any key. It should not stop and wait each time to check what key was pressed.

if I'm not mistaken getch returns err when there's no key being pressed... if it is like that you could use it in the loop just cheaking for it to change from err

I'd recommend looking at the kbhit() function.
