You could make it much easier to display text with a class and a loop.

And the press enter thing
stdlib.h

system("PAUSE");

try it

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;
}

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) :D

Include <conio.h> at the beginning of your program.

try system("pause");

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