[smp]

Guys,

I am writing a program. In a situation I want to print something and go to clear the screen but when i clear the screen the printed text also gets cleared. I want it such that after the print we have to click a key for the screen to get cleared. Is there a command or code which does that.

Code :

In TC or TC++

printf("Click to continue");
getch();
system("clear");

But in linux there is no header "conio" and hence no getch(). So i cant do what the above code snipped does. Please help.
