Is there an easy way to make my 9 lines of code timeout in 5 minutes(that is no barcode has been entered for 5 mins) and if it timesout have it kill my program?
Code: CODE cout << "Enter barcode:\r\n"; cin.get(ch); while (int(ch) != 13) { cout << ch; cin.get(ch); line = line+ch; } myFunction( line ); This post has been edited by serverph: Apr 19 2005, 07:35 PM |

Technically, no since std::cin halts the program until some key response occurs.
You'd have to test for keystrokes using your own code, which can take some time. But anyway, here's you five minute time out code. CODE #include <iostream> #include <ctime.h> int main() { clock_t x; x = clock () + 300 * CLK_TCK; //300 seconds = 5 minutes while (x > clock()) //basically test for 5 minutes in clock ticks { //place keytest code here... } return 0; } |
