Re: Key input

Qbasic is not a general purpose platform-independent language, it's a concrete implementation of Basic language dialect. No keyboard notion per se in the C++ language. There are lots of keyboard access functions and libraries in C++ implementations.
What's your C++ compiler?

Re: Key input

Your best bet is to press "M<return>" and use fgets() to read the input and process the first character. It's portable and will work on ALL compilers.

Have a look at non-standard header <conio.h>. Use getch/getche functions (in console mode applications only - hi, qbasic ). If you are developing GUI application, keyboard key access depends of selected GUI platform...
