When a key is pressed, print to screen this... How?

Ok so Im pretty new to programming.
I want something like
When D is pressd, print the character in value 'brush' onto the screen. So if 'brush' had X in it, when the user presses D on the keyboard it prints X.
I cant use cin , cause I dont want the D to be printed. I just want the value inside brush to be printed.

have u looked into getch() ? located in conio.h (compiler specific)

Alright, I sat down and did a little playing around, and then it hit me. If you use the getch() function in conio.h, you should be able to take single characters as input, which will not be displayed on the screen. Well, it works for me, anyway.

#edit#
Hah, someone beat me to it. I had my response open so long and didn't bother to check.

Errr well can someone write a simple little example, cause all I have been using for about a week now is iostream.h :P

very basic

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
        char ch;
        do{
        ch = getch();
       
        if (ch == 'a')
                cout << "This will only be shown when you press lowercase a" << endl;
        }while(1);
        return 0;
}

---

now everytime u press a lowercase a, and only a lowercase a, will it display that message

umm, its an infinite loop, i got lazy, so u will have to exit the console

Thank you
Great, seems to work. Thanks for the help everyone.
