Hi, I've got a project due in school.  What the project is is to do the
following:

Accept and echo characters on screen using conio.h functions.  Here's the
catch, though.  You have to accept three sentences, interpreting a sentence
as whenever the return button is pressed, and you can't echo anything
between two parentheses marks.

Note:  I DON'T WANT YOU TO SOLVE THE PROGRAM FOR ME.  I like solving these
things.  I just need a push in the right direction.  Here's what I got so far:

#include <conio.h>




void main()
{
	int character_count, word_count;
   char store_char='a';


   for (word_count = 1; word_count<=3; word_count++)
   {
   	do
      {
      store_char=getche();
      if (store_char='(')
      {
      	putch('\b');
         while (store_char != ')')
         {
         	store_char=getch();
         }
      }
      else
      	character_count++;
      } while (store_char != '\r');
   }
}

Any thoughts?
