how can I get it so that if the user presses ''ESC'' then it will do something. if (cKey == ''//???'') {//do something} Could I be any more dumber? (What do you mean, "No"?)

Look up WM_KEYDOWN AND VK_*** if it''s for Windows, or getch() and getche() for DOS.

but i need to know what character is needed for ''ESC'' as pressing the esc button when creating the code will not work.

Could I be any more dumber?
(What do you mean, "No"?)

VK_ESCAPE if its in windows

but what about dos?

Could I be any more dumber?
(What do you mean, "No"?)

i think ESC is dec 27 in ASCII chart but i could be wrong

LoadRunner is right, it is 27 in dec and it is 1B in hex so I''ll use that.

Now all you have to do is what I described in the other post. When you parse the input String do this

  if( inputString[0] == 0x1B ){	MyProcessEscapeKeyFunction();}  

This is, of course, as long as the escape key shows up in the standard input string, which I''m pretty sure it will do.
