I think what you want is... "kbhit()". It will return true when a key has been pressed, like this: #include <iostream.h> #include <conio.h> // kbhit is in there, i think it might be in stdlib.h too, not sure. void main() { int n = 0; while(!kbhit()) { cout << n++ << endl; } } This program will count from 0 to infinity until the user presses a key. Is that what you were looking for?
