How could I read input from a user without them having to press enter ( like being able to read the char from getch() ).

use kbhit in a while loop
Please explain how that answers my question.

something like this
I think this would work, if not add a ! infront of kbhit.Code:while(TRUE) { if(kbhit()) { //take action on the user input here } }
This have also been explaind with a bunch of different flavors..search the board for kbhit and you will find a more indepth distcusion about user input.
I need to be able to read what the user put in. (cin without the enter)

It's not a standard function (there's no standard way to do what you're asking), but most compilers include some form of
getch()
in conio.h.
Well, is there a way to read what was just input into the console?
while(TRUE)
{
if(kbhit())
{
switch(whattheyputin)
{etc}
}
}

Yes,
char c;
c=getch();
but this depends on your compiler. Which one are you using?
sigh..... MSVC++
It's probobly a bad thing being in the platform I'm in.

YAY! Works

Ok, just one more question. The program recognizes the arrow keys, but is it reading them as what they are? Should I use the assigned ASCII symbols to identify them?
