Inkey in turing

[tum_twish]

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

code:

DO          'expressions LOOP WHILE inkey$=""

or

code:

DO        'expressions         SLEEP LOOP UNTIL 'statement is true'

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

im thinking getch, but i duno how u can wait til a "certain key"...

[Blade]

yeah use getch, with a loop... we'll use 'h' as the certian key your waiting for

code:

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

code:

var ch:char loop exit when getchar = "x" end loop

"x" can be changed to character u want...

you for got to put getch inside the loop And after that it would be exactly what Blade already said.

Or use hasch for anykey to be waited upon

code:

loop exit when hasch end loop

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

why would u use getch command? (ch = getchar) does it all ... =/

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