How can i know if there are characters in the standard input using only
standard c++? I want to stop a loop when any key is pressed.

As Artie said, you can't. Have a look at the FAQ: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/, in particular 15.17.

The faq talks about a keyboard.. and I know that c++ doesnt require a
keyboard, but somewhere there must be an input stream, so I just want to
know if there is even one character on it without stopping the program
(the function looks at the stream, if it's empty returns 0, otherwise it
returns 1). I think this could be possible.

No, it really, really, really isn't. There are frequently OS-specific libraries that will do what you want, though. Have
you actually looked at the FAQ 15.17?

Yes but i can't get it working. Anyway i'm already using a non-standard
function that works perfectly, I just wanted to make it standard to
avoid problems when porting.

What's the problem (I'm assuming you're on a Posix system)? If it's C++ related, why not post it here? Else in a Unix
programmers ng, maybe?

Right... well as I guess you've gathered by now, you're out of luck there. If you can get the Posix solution working
that will at least increase your portability to a lot of systems (and you've already got kbhit and all the conio.h stuff
on Win32... don't know about Mac).
Cheers,

select() http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/...ns/select.html
poll() http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/...ions/poll.html
select and poll serve essentially the same purpose. select is a bit
easier to use, in my opinion. poll is probably a bit more efficient on
most systems (though if you are just monitoring stdin that won't matter).
