equivalent of getch() with <iostream>

[aurgathor]

Howdy,

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.

TIA

It's not kosher for Standard C or Standard C++, either. It's a common
extension.

I guess istream::get might be eligible.

char c;
cin.get(c);

Hope that helps,

cin.ignore is as close as you're gonna get for that purpose with
standard, portable C++.

There's a getchar() function that will do what you want if you're
actually using the value for something though.

Assuming with getch() you mean the function that
* waits for a single keystroke
* returns as soon as a single keystroke is entered

There is no such thing in Standard C++
