while(ch != 'q')
{
printf("looping\n");
sleep(1);
if(kbhit())
{
ch = readch();
printf("you hit %c\n",ch);
}
}
This code gives me a blocking getch() like functionality. I am trying to use this code to capture up down arrow keys.
Added: Trying to capture key codes of up arrow gives me 3 chars 27, 91 and 65. Using if/else I am trying pattern matching but I only get 2 chars. Next one is captured when next key is pressed.
I want to capture full words using getchar() while always looking for certain keys all the time(esc, del etc.).
