Comparing numbers. Keyboard layouts aren't typically alphabetical.

I know the ASCII chart a bit -.-..
So, do I have to insert EVERY SINGLE KEY SCAN CODE and THEN COMPARE the key scan code to a translated code?

Oh boy, sounds like I'm on a hunt for some source code!

Use a translation table. Then you can just do 'scan_code_table[scan_code]' and not do a ton of if statements or a switch statement.

I searched on google 5 times, found nothing.
Please, please, PLEASE find one, I'll look at your source code.

How about writing your own? As a programmer you have all the information you need to write your own, which takes less time than searching for an implementation

Although I agree with Combuster, I must say, it would probably be extremely easy to just look in bkerndev or the like, which you can type into google and get it on the first try, first result.

I'm really, really, really confused, guys.

Could someone mind giving me their FaceBook, MSN, or Google Talk, please?
Thanks.

And why would having a conversation with a single person be better when you can't explain your exact problem to anybody reading this thread?

In other words: Ask smart questions. (It also explains in detail why asking for a private conversation is *not* smart)

@Saustin: Do you really think your programming skills are good enough to develop an OS? You didn't undestand the error message (the one with the missing inb). You either don't know how to use an array to map a value (scancode) to another value (character). And how you do it at the moment you won't get far, you can't just ask here for every line of code.

Well, you can ask, but after now, you'll just get flamed and probably banhammerzor'd.
