Hello,
I am looking for a C function that works just like getch() in C++,
meaning I want the computer to wait for a one byte input and continue
(without pressing on the enter key). I have tryied "curses.h"
"ctype.h" but it doesn't work properly on Xterm.
thank you,
Lior

AFAIK there is no such thing in C++, either. In any case, for C, you
really do want to read the FAQ:

There is no standard way to do this. It deals with your terminal's setting
(which can be different between systems, and thus is not supported by the
ANSI/ISO C standard). I think there is something about this in this
newsgroup's FAQ: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html Just do a search
for what you are looking for (via your browser)

ctype.h is a standard header giving information about character types (is a
character whitespace, is it a digit, etc). This has nothing to do with
finding a getch().
I'm surprised that curses.h doesn't work on your X system, and I would guess
that you have failed to initialise the curses system properly. However it is
not part of ANSI C so I can't go into too much detail here.

Hi,
afaik, getch() is a function from conio.h, a non-standard header for
DOS/Windows compilers. I'm pretty sure there is no function like this
defined in C99.

Hi, I have the following problem:
I use "getch" to monitor keypresses and the I use "cin" to input a
string.
When I type in 'y', the 'y' character appears, so I need to hit backspace
before typing the string.
c = getch();
cin >> str;

What would be the equivalent of getch() using iostream?
My current code is:
cout << "\nPress <Enter> to continue...";
getch();
but <conio.h> is not kosher for the C++ class.

Hi,
How do I read a char from stdin before the '\n' is pressed?
for example I know that I can use getch() to read a single char from the
user input, but suppose I wanted to read before the carriage return is
pressed.
for example I type a char and the following actions is done before the
'\n' is pressed.

Is there any way to make cin behave like getch()? Specifically,
getch() returns immediately after a key is pressed and the cin family
of input methods seem to block until a new line is encountered. I need
some help.

My doubt is on the working of getch() function based on the following observations
1) if the pressed key has an ascii code,only that can be read using a single call to getch()
2) if the key has not an ascii code then the first call to getch() returns a zero and ,if we made a second call, it will return the scan code with out an additional key press.
Some one please help me to understand getch()

In the following code something strange happens ! If I keep pressed any
of ALT+Arrow, keys, they are extracted two times from buffer then getch
seems to stop; if I release and press again ALT+arrow nothing changes:
the only way to exit from this condition is press another key a single
time.
What seems to happen is that kbhit say some keys are present in buffer
but for getch don't see any data and waits for a key. Why this happen ?

Hi there,
I am using a POSIX-compliant system, Cygwin on Windows.
I need the features of conio.h's getch() and clrscr(), but I can't
compile programs with #include <conio.h(since conio.h is NOT POSIX).
I tried to implement myself clrscr() with system("cls"), but the program
compiles ok, but during the running it will show:
sh: cls: command not found

If I want to "press any key to continue" in Windows, I can use getch()
But the getch() isn't a standard C function
So what should I to do in Linux?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
