Does anyone know of a getch() equivalent that exists in linux?
I have just started doing some basic programming and am currently running Knoppix on CD.
So I'm not sure what kind of file library I have available.
Any help would be greatly appreciated;

What programming language are you talking about? C/C++?
In my MSVC I can find
getc
getchar
_getch
getc and getch are standard library functions and should be found in any C/C++ implementation.
_getch is a platform implementation function (denoted by the _ at the start of the name), a function provide by the platform in question to support the rest of the c standard library.
The closest standard library equivilent to _getch is getchar.

Put the following text in to Gedit and save as getch.h
to use the function use mygetch()
works like a charm -
/
-
-
#include <termios.h>
-
#include <unistd.h>
-
-
int mygetch(void)
-
{
-
struct termios oldt,
-
newt;
-
int ch;
-
tcgetattr( STDIN_FILENO, &oldt );
-
newt = oldt;
-
newt.c_lflag &= ~( ICANON | ECHO );
-
tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &newt );
-
ch = getchar();
-
tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &oldt );
-
return ch;
-
}

Actually the compiler says that getchar() "is not declared in this scope".
I found out that you have to include the <cstdio> library.
Also, it appears this function can't read the '\r' character. (The enter key).
Anyway, thank you so much! you helped me a lot!

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;

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.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to write either a getch()
(preferably Borland-style) or getche() function in C++ (I've posted
the C equivalent of this question to CLC) without it being
platform-dependent or otherwise non-standard?
If not, can someone suggest a good alternative for situations where
you require the user to "press any key to continue" or "press Enter to
continue" - with getch(), the mistakes that a user can make...

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 ?
If I...

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?
