Inkey in turing

-----------------------------------

In QBasic, there is a command that will wait until a key is pressed.


DO
         'expressions
LOOP WHILE inkey$=""


or


DO
       'expressions
        SLEEP
LOOP UNTIL 'statement is true'



Is there a similar command in Turing that will wait until the key is pressed?[/code]

yeah use getch, with a loop... we'll use 'h' as the certian key your waiting for
var anykey:string(1) %for getch the string has to be one character
loop
getch(anykey)
exit when anykey = "h"
put "Thats not the right key, you must press 'h'"
end loop

oh, and check out the tutorials section before you post help, it may clear up a lot of your problems

var ch:char
loop
exit when getchar = "x"
end loop
"x" can be changed to character u want...  :)

he said he wanted one so that he can wait until a key is pressed, with hasch it keeps goin past it until a key is pressed

strings can be concatenated as well, maybe that's why use getch
