Simple "Do you want to continue"

[Unregistered]

What's the best way to do a "Do you want to continue"?

I tried the "Do you want to continue? y/n", every time an error comes up with something to do with the characters.

Please help

There are some tips on how to pause a program in the board FAQ, if nothing there suggests a solution to your, (somewhat cryptic), problem, post your code.

There are two functions you could use that are under the
#<ctype.h> & <conio.h> header files

main90
{
char ch;

printf("\n Do you want to continue >");
ch = getch(ch);
ch=toupper(ch);

if(ch == 'Y')
{
/*do some coding*/
}
else
exti(1); /*this is in the stdlib.h*/

char Key='y';
while(Key=='y')
{

  ...

  printf("Do you want to continue? y/n);
  scanf(&Key); //Not sure about the exact syntax :)
}

I know, scanf() is a little bit rusty for me . I see that I forgot a " too, but I'm pretty sure that the general structure works...

Always interesting to see other languages, (even COBOL), but hardly applicable to the C board.
