dumb command line question

[kfaday]

Hi, i've got the following line in my app: printf("Press Enter to continue\n"); ... clrscr(); i want to display the message until the user presses enter and then clear the screen. what command should i use for that? I need only ANSI C commands i remember that in pascal you can use readln; thanks!

How about:

do
{
printf(...);
} while (getch() != 0xa); // or 0xd
clrscr();

#include getch(); getch will wait until any key is pressed - test the return for '\n' if you want the enter key. do { ret = getch() } while (ret != '\n'); Dave
