Hi there,
I have a console app that reads keys being pressed and then does some
action. In short it would be like this:
repeat
if fileage(myfile) <> imyfile then
begin
writeln('file changed');
imyfile := fileage(myfile);
end;
ch := readkey;
until ch = 'q'
So what I want is that the fileage test is done continously and when a user
presses a key some other procedure is executed. But the problem is that when
"ch := readkey" is reached, the app seems to stay waiting until a key is
pressed. In other words it only does the fileage test when I press a key
other than q. In my example the fileage test is only done once.
Am I under the wrong impression that I should pull it off using readkey??
What is the alternative??
