waiting for a keypress

Hey I'm working on a program for a class I'm in and I'm wondering how you would tell the program to wait until any key is pressed. I'm displaying a bunch of information and I would like to have the computer wait for any key (or a specific one if it has to be) to be pressed before going back to the main menu. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Its in the faq

using the conio header file
use getch() which waits for a key to be pressed before continuing

Code:

---

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        printf("TON OF INFO\n");
        getch();
        return 0;
}
//  NOW FOR C++ VERSION
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
        cout<<"TON OF INFO"<<endl;
        getch();
        return 0;
}
// getch() will stop after the endl; in C++
// not sure bout the C though.

usually it works like:
cout<<"Press any key to continue"<<endl;
getch();

This is what I use, you need a specific key stroke, but it is as portable as it gets.

Code:

---

printf("Please press <ENTER> to continue.");
while(getchar() != '\n');
