In C++, how do you wait for someone to hit the enter key?

I'm new to C++, and need to know how to you wait for someone to hit the enter key at the console before you call a function?


Here is what I have, and it's not working:





string str;


cin %26gt;%26gt; str;


if (str == "\n")


{


celldetect();


display2();


}


else


{


if (str == "q")


{


exit(1);


}

Hello,





In the conio.h library, there is a function that is exactly what your looking waiting for...





=====================


// The include


#include %26lt;conio.h%26gt;


int main()


{


// The method to wait for keystroke


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Please press a Key ";


getch();


}


=====================





The getch() function call causes the program to wait for a single keystroke.








Or you can use kbhit() in the same header file..





=====================


#include %26lt;conio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main()


{


while(1)


{


if(kbhit())


{


break;


}


}


}


=====================








Now you want to find if the "Enter" key is pressed, you can do the following ...





=====================


void main()


{


int ch;





while(1) // Wait till Keyboard hit ...


{


ch = _getch();


if (ch == 13 ) {


cout %26lt;%26lt; "You pressed Enter" %26lt;%26lt; endl


break;


}


}


}


=====================


I hope that helped...





I think the above code compiles hehe... If not, search on those two terms and you will get what your looking for..





Take a look at the thread below for a detailed response
Reply:use getch(), getchar() or getche() functions defined in conio.h header file
Reply:u need an infinite loop, all ifs and keyboard watching included in loop ;) good luck!
