Console Menu!! Any help?! Pls

[Fori]

Hi

i'm relatively new to c++ altough i had some experince writing with other DOS enbled consoles!

I would like to have menu and the user selects items by pressing the numbers 1 to 6! Now, if a user inputs a char the whole program goes haywire!

Is there a way to make to user input only 1 to 6 or else how can i catch other char and output an error!


Thanks Nick

char ch;
printf("Please select a choice [1-6]:\n"
ch = fgetc(stdin);
if (ch < '1' || ch > '6') {
printf(&quot;Your choice must be between 1 and 6!!!\n&quot;
}

_{I REALLY hope that helps.}
Will
