    system("Pause"); for visual C++ 6 when using command line??

    Hello everbody.

    I've done a search in the forum but didn't come across anything that would answer my question.

    I have the Dev C++ compiler and I also have Visual C++ 6.0.

    In the Dev C++ you use:

    system("Pause");

    so the program doesn't flash and go away when you click on it.

    Is there something that I could put into my programs when I use VC++ 6 so when I run the program it doesn't just flash and go away.

    Thank you,

    array

    don't use system("pause")... just use std::cin.get() (and if you're using it after a std::cin>> use cin.ignore())

    Thanks

    Thank you both for replying. Now my program pauses when I click
    on it. I'm new to C++ but I have somewhat of a C background.
    Again, thanks for your help!
