You were right
mmm I tried this...

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
char ch = 'x';
char termchar = 'q';
char character[30];
int counter = 0;
while (ch != termchar )
{
ch = getche();
character[counter++] = ch;
}
int q = strlen(character);
for (int j=0; j<q; j++)
cout << character[j];
}

And now, I donno what's happening.
When I press q, the word i wrote comes...butright after it, loadz of funny characters come on the screen

I donno what I'm doing wrong

MMM anyway thanks
Marc
