Hate to ask such a simple question but I've been looking through Help and
can't find what I need.

If I need to abort the app I print a message (fprintf) and return -1

Between those two I'd like to pause the app until user presses a key.

I've been looking for the c keyboard input and can't find it.

Just need to know user pressed any key.



Thanks

there are a number of options. check MSDN for:

- getchar
- getc
- scanf

I'll look them up.

Hope one doesn't require an Enter before it returns anything.

In that case, you might want to use _getch. it is available in conio.h

it will return as soon as you press any key.
