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?

VK_ESCAPE if its in windows

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.
