Reading \r (carriage return) vs \n (newline) from console with getc?

Question

I\'m writing a function that basically waits for the user to hit \"enter\" and then does something. What I\'ve found that works when testing is the below:

#incl         


        

Answer 1

Also remember that if you type in 25 characters and Enter, the first getc will not return until all 25 characters have been typed in and you hit Enter. Reading a character at the time it is typed requires platform-specific code. Consequently, you might be better off just reading the entire line by performing fgets into a string, trimming the newline, and processing the input line as a whole.
