Hiding user input

[alonex]

Hi,

I'm trying to hide user input (from keyboard-->using it to password)in win32 console application. I failed to manipulate getchar() and putchar() for that.
Is there a way to do it in C (or C++)?

Thanks,
Alonex

Yup, Visual C++ has a non-standard header <conio.h> which has function called getch() which gets a character (returned as an int) and doesn't echo it to the screen. The getche() function does the same thing, but does echo it to the screen.
