forget the batch file thing! just put getch() as the last line of your code (in your main), or before any return statement (in main). works EVERY time.
Reply:Answer to your other post about this problem.


Here is the code again.....





//Pre-Processor directives


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;conio.h%26gt; // for getch();





//Specified namespace


using namespace std;





int main()


{


//Cout object


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello world";





//Get keyboard input.


getch();


}

















- Void
Reply:You could also open a dos window and run the program from the dos window. Start-%26gt;Run either use cmd or command, depending on your operating system.





I think there is even an option to keep the window resident in the options for the .exe file. Check the properties on your .exe icon.





You could ask for input, then type a key. That will quit the program. Use a for loop while key != 'q'; That is the any key to continue loop.





//This isn't perfect, but it gives you the idea.


char key = 'x';


while (key!= 'q')


{ //do stuff


printf("Press q to quit, any key to continue\n");


getkey(key);


}





You could also make the program wait a while.


I can't exactly remember the statement to make the code wait.


Pause, Wait, delay?
Reply:Call system("PAUSE"); before calling exit or before returning out of the function "main".
