Re: [Dev-C++] DELETE/SUPR in ANSI C + Get a char without ENTER

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

I'm not too upto date on the current standard for ANSI C as I use C++ more,
but I think that the gets() (stdio.h) is in ANSI C and that will allow you
to get a string and it will handle the delete key too. It's main flaw is
that it doesn't check if you type in more chars than are in the string
array. The only other way to do it is to write your own gets type of
function, and include handling for special keys.

For a sinle character I would normaly use getch() or getche() (conio.h), but
I'm not so sure that they are ANCI C (anyone else know?). Another way would
be to use getc()(stdio.h) and tell it to get input from "stdin", i.e.

char c;
c = getc(stdin);

I don't know if that works, but it should.

Jason.
