Any other way than cin.get( ) ???

[pauiel]

I'm just beginning C++, so don't get mad at me if the answer is obvious

I would like to know if there is another way to keep a program going (possibly until a certain key is hit) than using a cin.get() command. Any solutions? -Daniel

Some ideas that are not portable are system("pause&quot and getch().

getch() won't work as the compiler will say "implicit declaration of function 'int getch(...)'". I've been using getchar(). This works most of the time, but no guarantees that a pause will always be (en)forced. And system("PAUSE&quot is a DOS command that will do the job, unless you're looking for no further output shown, but will show "Press any key to continue...". Anybody else have any more ideas?
