Aha!! I understand now! And what do you know I implemented it and everything works correctly!! Thank you sooo much I had been looking forever through forums and other things and could not find quite...

So if I want to alter codeMaker (located in main()) with the function read_unbuffered I should not use a pointer?

Here's an excerpt from my main:

/*Determine if code is valid*/
valid =...

Let me make sure I understand everything correctly first. When you have variables within a function, they are local to that function correct? It will not have any affect on the variables within the...

Like you said, it is a separate function, but I need to utilize it so that it returns the array that the user typed in. I don't want a simple true or false to be returned because that is not what I'm...

Well I'm actually not using it as a typical password that grants access to something. I'm making a Mastermind game, maybe you've heard of it. Basically, one player types a code and the other player...

Oh okay, yeah I noticed that it was along those lines but I didn't know if it would be wrong to do that.

So now I have everything working correctly, I just want the function to return an array,...

I got it to do what I was basically asking. Here's the issue, though. I want it to output the "*" or the colored numbers, whatever the situation may be, but I want to store the actual keystroke. For...

I meant I would print "\b \b", but I just want to give the user the option of deleting characters with backspace or delete.

So I was messing around with implementing backspace and also reading it ...

Oh okay so print("\b \b") will print a backspace? Awesome. Also, what is delete as opposed to backspace? Like backspace is \b. What is delete?

I think that basically is what I needed then. One...

Okay so I tried including the headers you said and the first one worked, except it had issues with the reference to "fileno". However, I tried your simplified code and it seems to work... kinda. I...

Okay so now I'm almost thinking that the reason your code didn't work when I tried it was because I think I might have compiled the wrong file. Because as i try to compile it now I'm getting errors...

The terminal I'm using is pretty simple. I took a course in C/Unix last quarter and I'm using the terminal they had us use, which I'm sure is probably very basic since the class is aimed at engineers...

@jim: I used your exact code to test it before I implemented it and I couldn't get it to work.

@corona: So if it has to do with my terminal settings what setting do I need to change?

I'm actually getting the same results as the first code you posted. I was wondering, would getc() and putc() work? I thought getc() didn't echo and I could basically do a loop using getc(stdin) and...

Okay I tried that, but when I type the password it still stays blank, only showing the stars after I press enter instead of doing it after each keystroke. Also, it's not even passing the password...

So I've been working on this for some time now and can't seem to find the solution that works for me. I'm working in C/Unix. Basically, I want to take a user input and output something different. For...
