testing for EOF

[worldwise]

Hi,

I have a simple console application that continuously loops until the user enters an EOF (ctrl-z).

I have finished everything except testing for the EOF. How do I do this?

why ctrl-z?

Ctrl-Z is ASCII 26

Hope this helps.

I have no idea. Thats how the teacher created the assignment (this is for a continuing education class, not a college course).

I have completed the assigment to exit the loop when the user enters nothing but the teacher said "to exit on EOF (ctrl-z on intel machines)."

I thought there might just be a special key word that I could test against?

earthandfire,

Thanks.

Would this be correct then?:

//=======================================================
string response; //response from user

while (asc(response) != 26)
{
//blah blah
}

I don't use C# but if your code translates to:

while (asc(response) does not equal 26 then I would say yes.


Hope this helps.

Must admit I've always thought ctrl-d was eof (on *nix terminals, at least)
