Creating a simple text editor in C++ -

i'm in cs162 class , assignment week create very, simple text editor prompts user input paragraph, type # when finished, , program make simple edits such capitalizing beginning-of-the-sentence words , changing common errors such "teh" "the." now, have trouble getting started these things; know how i'm going correct errors (have program search misspellings , replace words correct spelling/using .upper change upper case), can't started on having user input paragraph , end #. use loop allows user continue typing until type #? like? sorry if seems excessively basic; have trouble getting started programs, since beginner. thank you.

use conio.h

you can use functions like:

getch() - reads character console without buffer or echo

kbhit() determines if keyboard key pressed.

to you're looking for.

edit: user falcom momot, linux systems:

#include <unistd.h> #include <termios.h> char getch() {     char buf = 0;     struct termios old = {0};     if (tcgetattr(0, &old) < 0)             perror("tcsetattr()");     old.c_lflag &= ~icanon;     old.c_lflag &= ~echo;     old.c_cc[vmin] = 1;     old.c_cc[vtime] = 0;     if (tcsetattr(0, tcsanow, &old) < 0)             perror("tcsetattr icanon");     if (read(0, &buf, 1) < 0)             perror ("read()");     old.c_lflag |= icanon;     old.c_lflag |= echo;     if (tcsetattr(0, tcsadrain, &old) < 0)             perror ("tcsetattr ~icanon");     return (buf);
