Hello all! I am writing up a program for something and
I want to know if there is a way to check which key is pressed without it showing on the screen,
for example if i press the letter 'k', i want to be able to check it first, and THEN print it or do whatever else.. so something like:

if(keypressed=='k'){
printf("%c",k);
}

I know how to do this in assembly, but i was wondering if there is a way to do this in higher level languages, i'd imagine it has to do something with the system commands?

Anyway, thanks bunch for your help!

Hi,

I'm not sure about not showing it on the screen. But if you want to hide an entered password with '*' maybe this link could help

Yup. In general, you have to write platform specific code or use a library that abstracts away the platform specific code. If you were forced to just use the standard C/C++ library, you can't control the echoing of the character that was entered at the console.
