HI

How can i read a character without pressing the enter key?

Look at your keyboard?

I want to do a scanf without pressing the enter key in the end of the input.

Hmmm. I wonder if this is something that might be in the FAQ? ...

i think getch() is what you are looking for.
u can put in something like

Code:

---

char a[5];
 a[0]=getch();

---

and so on....
u can try the rest i hope,by the way,i tried this in the borland 6.0 and the borland 3.0 compiler and it worked.
so try it out

Speak english ONLY. And use getch(). There are tons of info on that function, although it isn't part of ANSI C standard or POSIX standard. It's part of the MS console libraries. Include conio.h

You mean like the FAQ covers, as it's already been stated.
