Thread: CTRL+Z? How to check it?

^Z is the DOS EOF character, so either you would just keep reading until EOF, or if that doesn't work look for the 0x1A character in the stream.

Project -> Add Files
(Don't #include them.)

As in

Code:

int ch;
while ( (ch=fgetc(stdin)) != EOF ) {
  // do stuff
}

Do not try and compare it with 0x1A or anything like that.

first of all, sorry for posting it twice... but yesterday hen i post this one the Firefox tell that i wasn't posted because the forum where i was trying to post it was wrong... and we i went backward to retrieve what i had written the firefox had already deleted...
and today it let me post it, but i dind't know that the other was already here... sorry...

and thanks for your answres, in a couple of hours comes mi partner of project and we will try all this things (he's got all the code,... )

thanks

Normally you type in the ctrl-z as the first character after a newline.

To do what you want, you may have to do "hola^z^z" to get it to give you an EOF indication in your code.

But this is a feature of your environment, not something specific to C.

Maybe - I've never tried (or even needed to).

Typing stuff in is a replacement for reading a text file, and since text files properly end with a newline, pressing return at the keyboard and then ctrl-z is a natural.

I see you're using dev-c++, and since you can get the full source code for the whole standard library, you could make it do whatever you wanted it to.
But you should be wary of changing what everyone else considers to be standard behaviour. It's a lot of trouble to go to to save just one keystroke in one rather exceptional circumstance.
