How to read a character from keyboard in Mex file?

Dear all,

I am using a mex file and I would like to get a character from keyboard but I got some problems.

I have tried several options such cin or getchar() but Matlab just ignores the lines.

char c;
getchar();
getchar();
-------
fflush(stdin);
cin >> c;
-------
while(cin.get()!='\n' && !cin.eof());

Because I am using a mex file I am wondering if maybe there are an specific function from mex file that implement this.

Regards,
