Need Help.

I've made a program designed to find every prime number until it reaches the C++ maximum intager limit. I want it to be able to break the loop based on the press of a key. I need a funcion that tests the standard input stream for input before firing. I tried the cin.eof() function in the while loop, but that does not work right as it will merely just display none of the numbers and let me to press enter infinitely. Here is the program:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <limits>
  3. using namespace std;
  4. int main()
  5. {
  6.    cout << "Searching for prime numbers..." << endl;
  7.    long long int prime = 0;
  8.    for(long long int limit = 0; limit < LONG_LONG_MAX; ++limit)
  9.    {
  10.       long long int test = prime % (2 || 3);
  11.       while() //Loop that determined user input that I can't figure out what to put in.
  12.       {
  13.          if (test != 0)
  14.          {
  15.             cout << prime << endl;
  16.             ++prime;
  17.          }
  18.          else;
  19.          {
  20.             ++prime;
  21.          }
  22.       }
  23.    }
  24.    cin.get();
  25.    return 0;
  26. }

Anyone know any? Thanks for the help in advance.:)
