Has anyone ever had a problem using getch() with dev c++ compiler?

If so how do i fix it?

or is this function only standard with Borland?

getch() is a non-standard function and its generally present in the headerfile <conio.h> // console input output headerfile

why don't you create a dummy variable and use a cin

Code:

---

char dummy;
cin >> dummy; // ofcourse it will wait till you press enter key
cin.ignore(); // to flush the '\n' (enterkey) if still in the stream

---

Why no use cin.get() (no params) to wait for the enter key?

What is the problem you are having?! I didn't have one but I hope I can help you.

Code:

---

cout << "Press any key to continue....";
char wait = getch();

// or

cout << "Press any key to continue....";
cin.get();

It looks as if getch() isn't in conio.h, but I got this to work with a bit of effort

Dev C++ ver 4.?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include "C:\Dev-C++\Include\conio.h"

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
  char letter;
  letter = getche();

  return 0;
}

---

Look in the conio.c and conio.h files for seeing what code is finished. It looks like some of the functs aren't et done.

Try including conio_mingw.h instead of conio.h
