If you put scanf it would wait for user input .Read the problem again.

Use getch() from the ncurses library.

??? Ok thanks for that advice.Any one else who can help but not be so discreet would be appreciated.

Alright then, if you want it spoon-fed to you, how about:

int c=getch();

Then see what c contains when the user presses "e", for example by using printf, and if you need an example of that as well then it might be something like

printf("%d\n",c);

Then you can test for that specific value. And here's an example:

int c=getch();
if (c==CODE_FOR_E)
{
  printf("User pressed E\n");
}

(change CODE_FOR_E to the number returned by the previous bit).

I have no intention of getting flamed now ..he he .And Thanks for putting together that code yeah but I'm doing it by using threads.

[bluecoder]

you will need the thread that will moniter the char to stop the printing . Create the new thread and use getchar( ) in that thread this will continue with the printing . till you press 'e' or 'E' .

this can be solved like this

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main(){
    int i=0;
printf("enter key a to stop running");
char a='o';
while(a!='a'){
    while(!kbhit()){
        printf("\n%d",++i);
    }
    a=getch();
}

printf("\nyou pressed a and stopped the process!!!");
getchar();
}
