(That's control-V control-D. ^V makes the subsequent control character visible.) EOF is #defined in a system include somewhere which you're probably not including in your source. Figuring out which include file would also do the trick. (I never have because any time I've wanted to check for the existence of EOF, I've also wanted to do more complicated input processing and I've just linked against the GNU readline library so I didn't have to think about it.) > I can't input the EOF character ( which is "Ctrl + Z" under DOS ), I > found in webs that "Ctrl + D" can do the job, but it doesn't work for me. ^Z for EOF? That's totally crazy. ^D is the Unix (and POSIX, and ISO, and...) standard key sequence to enter EOF. But it may or may not work under Windows. (Gee, there's a shocker. ;^>) Fwiw, I'm pretty sure ^D dtrt under Mac OS, even before Mac OS X, as long as you're not using an application that chooses to catch and interpret it itself. But I haven't checked lately. Cheers... -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
