Check for input from console in C++
-
Hi, I have a loop in a C++ program which is constantly checking for input from a network source, but I also want to check if the user has entered something into the console - such as a command to stop the program. Obviously I cannot use just standard cin << strCommand;, since that would block until something is entered. Is there any way for me to check if the console has received input? Regards, Daníel

you can use the
_kbhit()function. This function returns a nonzero value if a key has been pressed.
