Hi, I have a script that is allways running, monitoring a folder to see if there is any new file.
i'd like to add to this script something else like "if you want to run this thing, press "a" ".
This option will be allways there. If the user press the key it runs some code.
It have to watch the folder but watch the key either.
How can I do this?
Thnaks,

If you edit the post that you put the code in, you will see the code tags. Also, when you are replying or posting, there is a "Reply Guidelines" box to the right of the reply box that shows you as well.

Hello,
I have to write a program for an 8051 micro-controller using micro-C to
monitor Switch 1 and if the switch in pushed the message "switch 1
pushed" should be displayed in the LCD. Also the microcontroller
should display in the LCD the value of the voltage applied to the input
of the ADC.
The above procedure should only execute once the user has entered
"1234" using a keypad that is attached to the 8051 microprocessor.

I have a hash table which contains data associated to different keys.
The Hash keys are represented by a single character from the keyboard:

I want my program to detect what key the user pressed from the keyboard
and get the associated data from the hash table (associated with the
key he pressed which is the same as the hash key). The user can also

I wish to set up a handler to detect when the <Delete> key is pressed on the keyboard. This is so that I can intercept it and if the focus is on my datagrid, I will display a confirmation button, if they say No then the delete will be reversed (if possible)

I have a Windows form application running that contains a button and textbox.
An easy thing to do is to monitor the last time a keystroke was executed in
the textbox. I can then click the button and it will say: "The last
keystroke in the textbox was 10 minutes ago."
This is not what I want to do. What I would like to see is a message that
says: "The last keystroke in any running application on this computer was 23
minutes ago."

Hi guys, this is what i wrote:
if(kbhit()){
a=;
doaction(a);

doaction() is a function i wrote but it doesnt matter. What does matter is how to get a character from keyboard without interrupting execution just like getch() does. I am thinking of making a game so i need the game not to wait for the player to press a key, the game should go on. By using kbhit() i know whether a key was pressed, but i dunno which key. That is the...

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.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
