How can I make an input stream (e.g. getchar, fgets, scanf) do its thing or enter its input without having to push enter? like say i have a menu, with some options, eg (a)dd, (h)elp, i would like it to to add or go to help immediatly after pushing a or h, without having to push enter...do you understand? i hope...
Im using gcc 2.9x on linux.
PEACE
If you have Borlands conio.h, you can:
Code:char Key = 0; while(Key != 'q') { Key = 0; if(kbhit()) Key = getch(); if(Key == 'a') { ... } }

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
gcc also has the same (or very similar, i dunno, check your man pages) conio kbhit() functionality
hello, internet!
If you read my post, I said I used linux, so how htne could i be using borland? thanks for your answer anyway... and I also do not want to use conio.h, itīs non stanfdard. any other solutions?

There is no standard C way to do what you ask.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
oh, that sucks...
can I use the conio.h that comes with libsdl and just throw it into
/usr/include? will that work? if not, do you have any suggestions as to wherei can obtain a conio header?

You can fake it with Linux terminal commands, the simplest being:
-PreludeCode:. . system ( "stty raw" ); ch = getchar(); system ( "stty cooked" ); . .
My best code is written with the delete key.
