monitoring a pressed key from keyboard

jcor

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,

Hi!

download the term TermReadKey( when u a non blocked read will?)

Example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
ReadMode 4, IN;

$k = "";

#$in = *STDIN;

$in = \*IN; # or *IN or "IN" 

while($k ne "q")

{

 print "Press a key, or \"q\" to stop: ";

 $count=0;

 #print "IN = $in\n";

 $count++ while !defined($k=ReadKey(-1, $in));

 #print "IN2 = $in\n";

 print "\nYou pressed `",makenice($k),"' after the loop rolled over $count times\n";

}

ReadMode 0, IN;

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.
