    looping and input

    I am trying to get a program to loop infinately, I want it to keep looping until it receives input from the keyboard, this is what i have..


    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    int main(){

    char userin;

    while(1)
    {


    ....do stuff...

    userin = getche();
    if(userin = 'g')
    {

    ...do something else...

    }
    }
    }

    As the program is it will loop (do stuff) once and wait for input, how do i make it continue looping and stop on input

    Any help would be appreciated

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    int test=1;
    char userinput;
    while(test)
               {
               userinput = getche();
               if(userinput == 'g')test=0;
               }
    
          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }
    And To All Those Opposed, WELL !!!

    You need a compiler specific function, like maybe kbhit() which will test for input without pausing your program. Search and ye shall find...
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
