i m searching for a method by wich i can take a character input without using conio.h
(getche())
and with out pressing enter at end

a function which is exactly similar to getche() of conio.h

[Allizoid]

Why don't you use getchar() ?

char ch;

while( (ch = getchar()) != EOF ){
   putchar(ch);
}

That will echo the keyboard input back to the user.

Will this help you?

gtchar() requires enter key to be pressed after entering any character

i want take single character input from console
for example here is sample out put

Enter Your choice : (here user should press only one key)
Your required informations are : ...

program should not wait for enter key ('\n')

[jjl]

if your on windows you could use the getch() function in conio.h

[Muhammad.Arif]

i dont want use conio.h
any alternate method

[janotte]

Did you look at the snippet sarmanu gave you at post #3?

If not then have a look at it.

If you did then what about it was not what you wanted?

i could not underestand loops condition while( (ch = getchar()) != EOF ) when will loop terminate

That loop, as written, will never terminate.

If you wanted to break out of the loop when certain conditions are met then I suspect you have all the coding skills and knowledge to write code to achieve that.

Perhaps an if() test?
Perhaps a break statement?

actually no one understood my problem i have written a program and there are many choices for user to use that program for example user can enter data, view data, delete data etc. from a given record here is some sample output
Press 1 to enter data
Press 2 to view record
Press 3 to delete record
Press 4 to exit program (and so on some other options)

now i want that is when user just press 1 key there should be menu to enter data if user press 2 record should be viewed on screen (and so on)

how can i take input for choice from user without using conio.h
i know that using conio.h i can solve this easily like
char ch = getche();
but i want this without using conio.h as conio.h is not part of standart c++
all functions cin.get(ch) or other forms of this functions require enter key to be pressed at the end
there should no need for user to press enter key
can any one help me

Have a read here:

[Muhammad.Arif]

i think this link is of .net not c++ i have not learned commands like this

[janotte]

It is C++ in the .NET Framework.
Really read the link.

Since we have to guess at what constraints you are putting on the program you are writing then we have to guess at what answers might be useful to you.

[Muhammad.Arif]

is there any other option?
