- I would like to write a function that lets the user input a certain
- number of a data type, then stop when it gets to the end.
- Such as a zip of 89043
- when the user types the three, the prompt just sits on the three (until
- the enter key is pressed).
- I will be using such a function for user input things like
- state abbreviation (2 char), a zip (five ints), and the sort.
- I have played around using the gotoxy for placement of the cursor
- but have had no success, and unfourtunately the computer I am at
- now is not the one a program on. Can someone give me any suggestions
- or just even a word or two that might point me in the right directions.
-
- Thanks
- Jim
