CMD LINE PASSWORD INPUT USING C++

[ankursaxena]

Hi! i think i have asked this question before, i did get some replies, but i couldnt get any to complie, and now i need to do this really badly, i want to be able to take password input from cmd line so that the chars being entered on the keyboard do not get echoed back to the screen. just like how u logon using telent/mySQL etc.

thanx a lot

Ankur.

ps:- this for c++ on solaris

finally i have got the answer from some website, which actually works without any proble, if there is a better way ,i would still like to know, but if someone wants to use this,it works..

take care.

system ("stty -echo" /* turn echo off */
scanf ("%s", enteredPassword);
system ("stty echo"
