Key Press

[Alpha]

Hi.

Say in a program after the initial run, you need to ask the user to either press R to rerun, enter to continue. How would you go about doing so?

try somting like this:

code:

var key: string(1) put "hit  r to  returen, hit c to contwen" loop getch(key) if key = "r" then put "now going back to progame" %code here end if if key  = "c"  then put "contiuowing" %code  here end if end loop

sory for the bad spelling

How about say if I wanted the user to press the Enter key in order for the program to continue. I can't seem to find anything that would allow key recognition.

you can use this program to determined ASCII value of any key pressed

code:

var c:string(1) getch(c) put ord(c)

or just simply use

code:

loop if hasch then getch(c) exit end if end loop continue program here...

hasch returns true if any key is waiting to be read from the buffer
