Thread: press enter to continue

i am makign a huge list and the lsit goes off svcreen because its so big, i want to make a thing so liek after every ten lines the user has to press enter to view the next ten liens on the list

Pesudocode.

Code:

while( !atEndOfList( ) )
{
    for( x = 0; x < outputsize; x++ )
    {
        outputData( list );
    }
    displayPausePrompt( );
}

Very simple stuff.

std::cout << "Press enter to continue." << endl;
std::cin >> tempvar;

Just use a cin line as per above. You should be able to do it without a variable even, but it's been a while since I played with C++ streams, so it eludes me.

tried that alreayd did work.]

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
	cout <<"Press enter to continue" <<endl;
	cin.get();

	return 0;
}

is the world broken? nothing works!

You might need to clear the input buffer first, try looking up cin.ignore

Alright to just make it pause until you press enter use this simple statement its called getch(); or getchar(); if one doesn't work the other should and have a #include <conio.h> i think thats the right include just try it and out if it works then smile and keep making that program

best of luck (Snowy)

u all must be using different compilers than I because the only working one is the pause. thanks!
