Try the getch(); for just one key press or getchar(); for more then 1 key press.
if you dont want the program to stop and wait for the key press use the kbhit(); and then later use getch(); or getchar(); to read what key(s) they pressed.

thanks for the reply but with getch() and getchar() the user has to press return before the program moves on. i want the program to move on immediately after any key is pressed on the keyboard
any hints
You could make a loop that loops until the user presses a key using the kbhit() for breaking
Code:#include <conio.h> while(kbhit() == 0) { DoCoolThings(); }
that worked well but now the character of the key the user presses shows up at the next command prompt. how do i get rid of this character so that it doesnt show up anywhere
you could use clrscr(); after using the kbhit() loop

Hi,
Try this.
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char a;
while(!kbhit())
{
//do whatever
}
getch();// captures the char from kbhit
return 0;
}

You learn something new everyday.
use
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h> /* needed for system() */
int main()
{
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Output:
Preass any key to continue...
Bam!
