C++ in DOS "shutdown key"

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Is there a way so that when a key is pressed it will automaticlly shut down the program? Or do you always have to press enter? My program displays a line of flashing text, but I can not figure out a way to shut down the program by hitting one key and then hitting "enter".

Console programs are shut down with ctrl-c and other with alt-f4, but you have to make sure to free allocated memory etc.

try this code...

Zero Valintine

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <conio.h>

int main(){
getche();
return(0);}

Here is a small program to show one way to do that:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>                             
using namespace std;

void doneover();

int main()
{
  char s[80];
  char *p1;

  do {
 
   doneover();
 
    p1 = s;                                    
    cout << "To Exit: Enter  done ";
    gets(p1);                            
  } while(strcmp(s, "done"));
}

void doneover()
{
  cout <<" here is your program\n" ;
   }
