    Bypass having to hit Enter after getch

    So I was wondering if there is a way to bypass having to hit enter after scanning or using getch to get a character. I have been looking around online and all the code I found is not standard C which is what i wish to use.

    Cprogramming.com FAQ > How can I get input without having the user hit [Enter]?

    There is no standard way, as mentioned in that FAQ.

    getch isn't a standard function. If you're on Windows, you can use getch from conio.h, or if you're on Unix, you can use getch from the ncurses library.
