How to read until ESC button is pressed from cin in C++

Question

I\'m coding a program that reads data directly from user input and was wondering how could I read all data until ESC button on keyboard is pressed. I found only something li

After you read the line, go though all characters you just read and look for the escape ASCII value (decimal 27).

Here's what I mean:

while (std::getline(std::cin, line) && moveOn)
{
    std::cout << line << "\n";

    // Do whatever processing you need

    // Check for ESC
    bool got_esc = false;
    for (const auto c : line)
    {
        if (c == 27)
        {
            got_esc = true;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (got_esc)
        break;
}
